Option 2: Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the stuffing balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray or brush them with oil.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and golden.

Option 3: Air Fry

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Arrange the balls in a single layer in the basket.
  • Spray lightly with oil.
  • Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

🍽️ Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls warm, alongside dipping sauces like:

  • Turkey gravy (classic and rich),
  • Cranberry sauce (for a tangy-sweet contrast), or
  • Ranch or aioli (for a creamy twist).

Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or a touch of shredded cheese for a festive touch.


🧡 Tips for Success

  • Texture balance: If your stuffing was very moist, add extra breadcrumbs before shaping.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to mix in leftover corn, peas, or diced vegetables for extra color and flavor.
  • Storage: Store cooked balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
