Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls: A Creative and Delicious Way to Use Your Holiday Leftovers

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, shredded cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not too wet. If it’s too loose, add breadcrumbs, a tablespoon at a time, until it holds together easily.
Shape the stuffing balls:

With your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should get around 12-15 balls, depending on the size you make them.
Cooking options:

Frying: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the stuffing balls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the stuffing balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve:

Serve the Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls warm with your favorite dipping sauces like cranberry sauce, gravy, or ranch dressing. Enjoy these crispy, flavorful bites as a fun appetizer or main course.
