Prepare the sweet potato purée: Heat a high walled sauté pan over medium heat. Add the milk and water and bring to a simmer. Then add the sweet potato, place the lid on the sauté pan and cook until the sweet potato is tender, 15 mins. Mash the sweet potato with a fork and then add the nutmeg, butter and the Gouda cheese. Whisk until smooth and season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Prepare the turkey gravy: Simmer the turkey stock and gravy in a small pot over a medium heat. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the stock, whisking slowly to incorporate it with no lumps. Heat until the gravy thickens, about 10 mins. Add the leftover turkey, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
