Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover turkey, chopped
- 2 cups leftover stuffing
- 4 cups leftover mashed potato
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup cheese, shredded to taste
- turkey gravy, leftover or canned
- cooking spray or butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine leftover chopped up turkey, leftover stuffing, leftover mashed potato and egg. You need about ½ of the mixture to be potato and ¼ stuffing and ¼ turkey. Amounts are a rough estimate. Sometimes we have more and sometimes we have less. These muffins are always fabulous. Add shredded cheese if desired. We usually do.
- We usually just use our hands to mix.
- Once blended together, make ball sized portions and place in to each hole in your muffin tin.
- Press a pinch of shredded cheese on top, if desired, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Heat up your gravy.
- Broil for a minute or two before removing from the oven to brown your cheese if desired or required. Serve with gravy. Enjoy!

Notes
- Season the muffin mixture lightly if you want to. Avoid going heavy on the spices, as the stuffing, turkey, and gravy all have lots of them.
- If you’re making this as a meal for the family, it makes sense to get everything in a pan or a dish, as opposed to a muffin tray.
- Use an ice cream scoop to pack the mixture into muffin tins.
- If your leftover stuffing is too dry, and the muffin mixture isn’t holding its shape properly, you might want to add a splash of water or chicken stock to lend it some moisture, and to help all the ingredients bind together.
