Turkey Stuffing Balls 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 easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- 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 thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls, packing them firmly to hold together during baking.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed balls on the lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown on the outside and heated through.
- Serve: Serve the turkey stuffing balls hot with your choice of gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping to enhance flavor.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme into the mixture before forming the balls.
- These stuffing balls can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, then reheated in the oven just before serving.
