Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or finely chopped
- 3 cups leftover stuffing
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs (panko recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, beaten eggs, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- If the mixture feels too dry, stir in chicken broth a tablespoon at a time until it holds together nicely.
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into golf-ball-sized portions. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Brush melted butter over each stuffing ball for a crispy exterior.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If the stuffing balls aren’t holding together, add more breadcrumbs to firm up the mixture. Taste-test the seasoning before shaping the balls to ensure perfect flavor.
