Ingredients:
- 2 cups leftover turkey stuffing
- 1/2 cup leftover cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped onions (optional)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (if needed for binding)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for frying)
- 1 cup turkey gravy (or any gravy of your choice)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover turkey stuffing, shredded turkey, egg, chopped celery, chopped onions, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix well until everything is fully combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
- Form the Balls:
- With your hands, shape the stuffing mixture into balls, about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter.
- Cook the Stuffing Balls:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the stuffing balls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- While the stuffing balls are cooking, warm up the turkey gravy in a saucepan over low heat. If you don’t have turkey gravy, you can use chicken or beef gravy as a substitute.
- Serve:
- Once the stuffing balls are cooked, place them in a serving dish and pour the warm gravy over them.
Enjoy your delicious leftover turkey stuffing balls! This is a great way to repurpose your leftovers while creating a tasty meal.
