Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Leftover dressing (stuffing) (can use 1 box stuffing mix, prepared)

  • ½ cup Minced onion
  • ¼ cup Minced bell pepper
  • ¼ cup Bread crumbs
  • 1 large Egg
  • optional: Additional bread crumbs to coat

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients together and mix to combine thoroughly. (If you don't have leftover stuffing, just make a box of stuffing mix according to the directions & use 3 cups of that prepared dressing instead)

  2. In a skillet heat enough oil to cover bottom of skillet.

  3. Roll turkey mixture into approximately 2" chunks.

  4. Roll formed chunks in additional bread crumbs to coat if desired.

  5. Place patties in hot oil and press with the back of a spatula to flatten slightly.

  6. Cook until brown & crispy, then flip to cook other side. Drain cooked patties on paper and serve hot.

Recipe Notes

Serve these turkey/dressing patties hot with leftover giblet gravy and add other warmed leftover holiday sides for a deliciously different meal.
