Description
Embrace the flavors of the holiday season with these irresistible Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls! Crafted from the leftover treasures of your Thanksgiving feast, these crispy, flavor-packed bites are the perfect way to breathe new life into your turkey and stuffing.
Ingredients
- 3 cups leftover turkey, shredded
- 2 cups leftover stuffing
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is cohesive.
2. Scoop and shape the mixture into golf ball-sized portions, gently rolling each ball in the flour to coat it lightly.
3. In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot and shimmering.
4. Carefully add the balls to the hot oil in batches and fry until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the fried Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. Serve these delectable bites warm, with extra cranberry sauce or gravy for dipping, if desired.
Notes
To ensure your Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Mix Thoroughly: Make sure to mix the ingredients together well, so the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Maintain Frying Temperature: Keep the oil at the right temperature, between 350-375°F, to achieve that irresistible golden-brown exterior without overcooking the interior.
Serve Warm: These Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls are best enjoyed fresh and hot, straight out of the oil.
