Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls

After the holiday feast is over, many of us find ourselves with an abundance of leftovers. Rather than simply reheating them, why not transform those remnants into something uniquely delicious? Introducing Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls – a delightful way to repurpose your Thanksgiving, Christmas, or roast dinner leftovers into a scrumptious new dish. These stuffing balls combine turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy, creating a mouthwatering bite that encapsulates the best flavors of the holiday season.
Ingredients :

• Gravy, to taste
• 1 ½ cups chopped turkey meat
• 3 cups mashed potatoes
• Panko breadcrumbs, as needed
• 3 cups stuffing
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions :

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your stuffing balls don’t stick.
2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped turkey meat, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. If the mixture seems too loose and doesn’t hold together, gradually add panko breadcrumbs until it reaches a consistency that allows you to form balls easily.
3. Shape the Balls: Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized balls. Aim for golf ball-sized portions for uniform cooking. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. The exterior should be crispy while the inside remains tender and moist.
5. Serve with Gravy: For a final touch of holiday flavor, pour warm gravy over the stuffing balls just before serving. Alternatively, you can serve the gravy on the side for dipping, allowing each bite to be as saucy as you prefer.
