Crispy Leftover Stuffing Cakes
Ingredients:
3 cups leftover stuffing (or boxed stuffing like Stove Top)
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
Leftover turkey gravy or brown gravy for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Stuffing:
Add the leftover stuffing to a large bowl. If your stuffing has larger chunks of bread or sausage, pulse it in a food processor for a smoother consistency. You want the texture to resemble boxed stuffing to help the cakes hold together. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Mix and Form Cakes:
Stir in the beaten egg and milk or cream until everything is well combined.
Shape the mixture into cakes about the size of crab cakes, yielding 4-5 cakes from 3 cups of stuffing.
Chill the Cakes:
Place the formed cakes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. This helps the cakes firm up and makes them easier to fry.
Fry the Stuffing Cakes:
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and hot, carefully fry the stuffing cakes on both sides until they’re crispy and golden brown, and warmed through (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Serve:
Serve the crispy stuffing cakes hot, with warmed leftover turkey gravy or brown gravy drizzled over the top.
These stuffing cakes make for a cozy meal or side dish, especially with that extra gravy!
