Instructions
Making Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Form Balls: Using your hands, form the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls. Ensure they are compact to hold their shape during cooking.
4. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated. This will give them a nice crispy texture.
5. Prepare for Cooking: If baking, place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray. If frying, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. Bake or Fry:
– For Baking: Bake for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.
– For Frying: Fry the balls in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and brown.
7. Drain Excess Oil: If frying, place the cooked balls on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve: Transfer the stuffing balls to a serving platter and enjoy while warm.
