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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure the balls bake evenly without sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine mashed potatoes, stuffing, shredded turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed to allow binding and flavor distribution.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, compacting gently so they hold together but remain tender inside.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed balls evenly on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow air circulation while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on the outside and heated through, ensuring a crisp exterior and warm, flavorful interior.
- Serve: Serve the turkey stuffing balls hot, accompanied by gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping to enhance their savory taste.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can mix in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
- These stuffing balls can also be made ahead and reheated in the oven just before serving to save time.
