Leftover Stuffing Patties

November 20, 2019 by My Farmhouse Table 2 Comments

Leftover Stuffing Patties

I love all holidays, but for someone who loves food and cooking, Thanksgiving is a day that is almost as perfect as you can get. Food and family are the absolute center of the day. You spend sometimes weeks in advance planning, buying groceries, and prepping for one meal that disappears in a matter of minutes. Well, maybe it doesn’t disappear completely. Thanksgiving has a way of giving us plenty to eat and there usually seems to be leftovers. Every year, I try to find new and inventive ways to use up extra turkey, mashed potatoes, and etc. This year, I am sharing this recipe for Leftover Stuffing Patties.

As much as I love stuffing or dressing (especially my recipe made in a Crockpot) there are very few ways to reinvent this side dish.

Until now that is.

A few years ago, I was staring at an unbelievable amount of leftover dressing in my fridge. Besides already being on day 3 of re-heating the whole Thanksgiving meal…turkey, potatoes, stuffing, casseroles, and pies.

I had also used part of the dressing in my favorite Leftover Thanksgiving Soup!

(Trust me that one is a tried and true leftover favorite!)

The idea came to me! What if I could use up some of this stuffing for breakfast.

So I took out some stuffing, crumbled it up into smaller pieces, tossed in a couple eggs and flour to bind the mixture, and shaped into patties.

After the patties were fried, I placed an over-easy egg on top with a side of pork sausage (or bacon!).

Ta-Dah! A delicious and hearty breakfast came to be!

I should put a disclaimer on this recipe.

Everyone’s stuffing/dressing recipes are different.

Some are dry and chunky. Others are moist and small pieces.

I find that the smaller pieces hold together better in this recipe. So if you have big pieces of bread or sausage in your stuffing. Try chopping them up a little finer and you should be good to go!

Author My Farmhouse Table

Ingredients

  • 2 – 2 1/2 cups Leftover Stuffing or Dressing
  • 2 – 3 Eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup Flour
  • Oil for Frying

Instructions

  1. If your leftover stuffing or dressing has big chunks, gently chop into smaller pieces. Course crumb to pea sized should work well.

  2. Then add in a couple slightly beaten eggs and flour. Start off with the smaller range of measurements. Then add more eggs or flour as needed. The stuffing should hold together in a small ball when the consistency is correct.

  3. Next, take a small handful of the stuffing mixture (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) form into a ball and then flatten into a patty.

  4. In a skillet, pour 2-3 Tbsp of oil and heat over medium. Once the oil is hot enough, place a couple patties into the skillet. Once browned, gently flip and allow the other side to brown.

  5. Remove the cooked and browned patties to a paper towel to drain. Serve warm.

Recipe Notes

  • As the patties come out of the skillet, I place them on a baking sheet in a 300F oven to keep warm. 
  • Sometimes I will place the formed (un-cooked) patties in the freezer for 15-30 minutes in order to firm up and hold together during the fry. 
  • The key is to start on the low side of all the listed measurements. Add ingredients, until a ball of stuffing can be formed and hold its shape.

A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @aut A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @authorsarahadams to me this past week and let me say it was the perfect pre- Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day read that I couldn’t put down and ended up finishing in a day.

I don’t know if I’ve read a book where I caught myself smiling from cover to cover.

It was sweet (almost cavity inducing), WITTY, deliciously flirty, hard to put down, charming, with great comedic timing, and sexy! 

It’s a friends to lovers and fake dating tropes that is right up any Hallmark lover’s alley with a side helping of NFL. 

I found myself laughing out loud, cheering from the sidelines, and BLUSHING 😊. A touchdown in my book! 🏈

I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜

Also… shoutout to one of my favorite new finds on Insta… @philipbowenmusic on the strings (seriously this dude is super talented!)

I’ve enjoyed going through this experience with her, including random texts and Snapchats of hormonal cries, nesting episodes, and of course, food cravings- which is how the baby earned the nickname of “Scoops”.
