You can carry a full turkey on plane, leave the mashed potatoes

 

If you’re planning to fly with leftovers, the basic rule to remember is any solid foods are okay.  But anything liquidy has to go in your checked luggage.

 

Some foods you ARE allowed to carry on include pies, cakes, stuffing, rolls, vegetables, and casseroles.  They’re all considered solid foods.  And yes, turkey is also fine.  Even a full, uncarved Thanksgiving bird is acceptable.  And frozen turkeys are okay too.

Some foods you CAN’T carry on include gravy, cranberry sauce, wine, eggnog, and any sort of jam or jelly.  Mashed potatoes are also considered a non-solid food.  So they have to go in your checked luggage.
