Description
Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Meatballs are made with holiday leftovers: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy. Perfect for a post-Thanksgiving meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6-8 ounces leftover turkey
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 cups leftover stuffing
- leftover gravy, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 9×13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the leftover turkey in a food processor and pulse until finely minced, with no large chunks remaining. This should take approximately 30 seconds or less.
- In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the minced turkey with the leftover mashed potatoes and stuffing. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using a slightly overflowing 1-inch cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. The mixture should yield approximately 28 meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Once baked, serve the meatballs immediately with leftover gravy if desired. Alternatively, allow them to cool completely before
Notes
Store meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
