How to Make Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the leftover turkey, stuffing, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If the mixture feels too wet, add breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
Step 3: Form the Balls
- Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the stuffing balls with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or gravy.
