These cheesy stuffing balls recipe is the perfect way to use up left-over stuffing after Thanksgiving or Christmas and makes a great snack.

Left-over stuffing and cheese balls

Thanksgiving and Chrismas leftovers are just the best, aren’t they? There’s nothing like making yourself a really good sandwich with all those delicious bits that are left over after the big feast. But why just stick to a sandwich when there is so much more you can do with Thanksgiving leftovers?

These stuffing balls filled with melty mozzarella cheese is the ultimate celebration of leftovers. They have a similar vibe to Italian Arancini (risotto balls) and are so easy to make. You can stuff them with pretty much anything (leftover turkey and cranberry sauce with cheese would be uh-mazing!) before rolling them, coating them and frying them. Is it must me or is the day after Thanksgiving/Christmas starting to sound even more exciting?!

How to make leftover stuffing balls

Blend the leftover bread stuffing with an egg and a splash of milk to prevent it from being too dry in a food processor until smooth. Stuff cubes of cheese, leftover turkey or cranberry sauce in the centre and roll into golf-ball sized balls. Bread the stuffing balls by coating them first in flour, then beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp then drain and serve with lemon wedges.

How long are leftovers good for in fridge?

Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days in a sealed container but I would keep an eye on it and if anything smells off/funny or looks like it’s dried out a lot then rather discard.

What to make out of leftovers?

  1. Leftover turkey BLT Club sandwich
  2. Healthy leftover turkey Caesar wrap
  3. Leftover ham and pea pasta bake 
  4. Eggs Benedict with leftover ham 
  5. Pea & leftover ham Frittata
