Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Leftover Stuffing Herb-infused varieties add more zest.
  • 1 cup Mashed Potatoes Can substitute with sweet potatoes.
  • 1 cup Shredded Turkey Any leftover cooked poultry works.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used.
  • 1 large Egg Can use flax egg for a vegan option.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Slotted spoon
  • Plate or tray

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your leftover stuffing, mashed potatoes, and shredded turkey. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  2. Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place the shaped balls on a plate or tray.
  3. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Dip each ball into the egg and then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat about an inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each side of the balls for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Remove the fried balls from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
