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.
