Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 cups stuffing
- 1 cup shredded turkey
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, stuffing, shredded turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they hold together well.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed turkey stuffing balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown on the outside and heated through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the turkey stuffing balls hot. They pair wonderfully with gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can prepare the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate before baking to enhance flavor.
- Ensure the balls are tightly formed to prevent them from falling apart during baking.
- For an extra crispy texture, brush the balls with a little melted butter before baking.
- Use leftover turkey and stuffing to make this recipe a great way to reduce food waste.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as gravy, cranberry sauce, or ranch dressing.
