Balls made of leftover turkey and stuffing.

Advice for Making the Best Turkey Stuffing Balls

You can use either fresh or old stuffing in this recipe, it will still turn out well. If the food is too dry, simply add more sauce or broth to make it moist.

Personalize the Add-ins: Feel free to be creative with the extra turkey stuffing balls. Include diced vegetables, herbs, or a small amount of mashed potatoes to enhance the taste.

Prepare in advance and freeze: You can make these stuffing balls ahead of time and freeze them before frying. Just form, cover, and put in the freezer on a baking tray. Once it’s frozen, put it in a zip-top bag. When you are ready to cook, you can fry or bake them directly from the freezer. Just remember to add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

To make a healthier version, you can use an air fryer to cook the balls at 375°F (190°C) for around 10-12 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
