Scale
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 evenly.
- 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 everything thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Shape into Balls: Take the mixture and form it into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These stuffing balls are perfect accompanied by gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can use leftover turkey and stuffing from a previous meal to make this recipe simple and resourceful.
- Make sure the mashed potatoes are not too watery to ensure the stuffing balls hold their shape.
- For a crispier exterior, you can lightly spray the balls with cooking oil before baking.
- If desired, add herbs like chopped parsley or sage to enhance flavor.
- These balls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
