Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls

Step 2: Shape the Balls

Using your hands, scoop out a small amount of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and roll it into a tight ball.
Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should get about 12–16 stuffing balls depending on size.

Step 3: Coat the Balls

Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
Roll each stuffing ball in the breadcrumbs, making sure it’s evenly coated. This will give your balls a crispy exterior.

Step 4: Cook the Balls

Option 1: Pan-Fry

Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the balls and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

Option 2: Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and brush lightly with melted butter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the stuffing balls warm with a side of cranberry sauce, gravy, or a dipping sauce of your choice. They make a perfect snack, appetizer, or even a fun addition to your next holiday meal.

Tips for Perfect Stuffing Balls

Cheese Choice: Sharp cheddar adds a punch, while mozzarella gives a gooey texture.
Leftover Creativity: You can mix in leftover vegetables like carrots, peas, or corn.
Crispy Exterior: For extra crunch, double-dip in breadcrumbs.
Make Ahead: Form the balls and freeze them uncooked for up to a month. Bake or fry straight from the freezer!
