Servings 4
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 5 cups leftover stuffing
- 1 egg
- leftover diced turkey optional
- Bread crumbs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add stuffing to a mixing bowl.
- Whip one egg in a separate bowl and add to the stuffing in the bowl.
- Mix the eggs and stuffing together (add diced turkey here if desired) and mix with your hands. Like a meatloaf!
- Decide upon the size of your mini stuffing balls. One inch wide, one inch tall works well which is a ball which fits into the middle of the palm of your hand.
- Rolling the balls in bread crumbs is optional, but adds a nice bit of crunch to the stuffing. I usually make a 1/2 and 1/2 batch of breaded and no breaded stuffing balls.
- Place the balls on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. The breaded stuffing balls will be lightly browned. Can leave in additional 5 minutes if a deeper breaded color is desired.
Notes
Add leftover corn or squash from Thanksgiving to make these stuffing balls a dinner all on their own!
