Here are some awesome leftover stuffing recipes and ideas to get you to use up the leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving.
By the way, do you call it stuffing or dressing? This is a very important question. Let me know below.
When I finally perfected my cranberry sausage stuffing recipe, I knew that only my husband and I would be the ones to eat it in the house.
Hence, I need to figure out how to use it in other meals.
Genius Leftover Stuffing Ideas To Try Now
Here are the genius leftover stuffing ideas I thought up, and tried.
Plus, a few of my blogging friends have created some fantastic leftover stuffing recipes you just need to experience. Trust me.
Thanksgiving Leftovers Soup
I think just about everyone makes a turkey soup of some sort after Thanksgiving.
Please take it to another level by placing a scoop of leftover stuffing in the bowl before you ladle your soup.
I never thought I would love this as much as I do. Plus, you can substitute the stuffing for a scoop of mashed potatoes, if that’s more your jam.
Leftover Stuffing Breakfast Patty with Fried Egg
Stuffing for breakfast? Heck yeah! Turn your stuffing into a patty, pan-fry quickly, and top with a sunny side-up, over-easy, or fried egg. Le swoon.
Stuffing In Mushrooms
My friend Amy is brilliant. This is a fun way to turn stuffing into a fun appetizer for holiday parties.
I plan to make these, and freeze them so I have a quick bite to serve for last-minute guests. Plus, parmesan and cream cheese? Sign me up.
Stuffing Balls
I’d never heard of this before until I went on a hunt to find fun ways to use up our stuffing.
I love that all you do is turn your stuffing into balls, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
You can dip them in an egg wash, and roll them in cracker meal, to make more of a crunchy exterior. Have an air fryer? Try them in there and let us know how they turn out!
