Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey and Stuffing Muffins

Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey and Stuffing Muffins

When it comes to Thanksgiving, the only thing better than the meal itself is, of course, the leftovers! And I’m no stranger to transforming Turkey Day extras into something special on the second (and third, and fourth…) day after the big feast. My latest creation? Leftover Turkey and Stuffing Muffins. I repeat, stuffing muffins.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 1/2 cups crumbled leftover stuffing
• 2 cups chopped leftover turkey
• 3 large eggs, whisked lightly
• 1/2 cup chicken or turkey stock (See Kelly’s Note)
• Leftover cranberry sauce or gravy, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the leftover stuffing, leftover turkey, eggs and stock, stirring until combined.
3. Divide the mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups then bake the muffins for about 30 minutes or until they’re crisped slightly on top and the mixture is cooked through.
4. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before removing them. Serve with leftover cranberry sauce or gravy.

KELLY’S NOTE:

If your stuffing is particularly dry, you may need to add additional stock until the mixture is moist but not mushy.
