Leftover Stuffing Muffins
Description
These Leftover Stuffing Muffins start by gently mixing prepared stuffing with chopped turkey and well-drained thawed spinach, then distributing the mixture into a buttered muffin tin. An egg and milk mixture, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, is poured over the stuffing to bind and moisten it as it bakes. Baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit produces muffins with crisp, browned edges and a soft interior from the eggs.
The resulting muffins offer a convenient serving size of savory flavors familiar from holiday meals or any stuffing recipe. The spinach adds moisture and a subtle green note, while the turkey provides protein and heartiness. Their individual portions make them practical for leftovers and an appealing snack or side dish.
Cool the muffins slightly before removing from the tin to maintain shape. Serve warm as a side or packed for meals on the go. The recipe is adaptable to different stuffing and meat combinations depending on what leftovers are available.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp butter for greasing the muffin tin
- 3 cups stuffing prepared, or dressing
- 1 cup turkey chopped, or ham
- 1/4 lb. spinach frozen, thawed and squeezed
- 6 egg large
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with butter, oil, or non-stick spray. Thaw and squeeze the spinach dry.
- Add the stuffing, turkey, and spinach to a bowl, then stir gently to combine without breaking up the stuffing too much.
- Divide the stuffing mixture between all 12 wells of the muffin tin. Leave the stuffing loosely packed in the cups so that the egg mixture can fill in around the stuffing.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Divide the egg mixture among the 12 wells, starting with 2 Tbsp per muffin and then adding a little bit more until all of the egg mixture has been used. The egg will not fully cover the stuffing, it will puff up as it bakes.
- Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the top. Allow the muffins to cool slightly, then run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove each muffin. Serve warm.
