Scale
Main 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffing balls.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, stuffing, shredded turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined into a uniform mixture.
- Shape into Balls: Use your hands to form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each ball evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the shaped balls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they become golden brown and heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These stuffing balls pair wonderfully with gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can prepare these balls ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the balls lightly with olive oil before baking.
- Use leftover turkey and stuffing for a great way to reduce food waste.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the seasoning of your stuffing.
- These can also be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes for faster cooking and a crispy texture.
