DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER

Several years ago, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I wanted to use my leftovers for something other than a turkey sandwich or turkey soup. I opened up all the containers in the fridge and came up with this. It's a family favorite and easy to create. It's also easy to put together from scratch, without using leftovers. I've provided amounts as a guideline but the recipe is very forgiving and can be adjusted or modified for more or less, depending on how many ingredients you have on hand. Also - if your stuffing isn't very savory, you can add more herbs to either your turkey mixture or your stuffing mixture - or both!!

Steps:

  • Mix together the stuffing and mashed potatoes.
  • Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  • With your hands, form 1-1/2 to 2 inch balls (patties will work as well).
  • Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through and a bit crunchy on the outside (about 15-20 minutes).
  • While the stuffing balls are baking, make a roux, as follows:.
  • Sift the flour, salt, pepper and thyme together.
  • Melt the butter.
  • Add the seasoned flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each. (I use a whisk to keep the consistency smooth.).
  • When the roux is smooth and bubbling, remove from heat and slowly add chicken broth, stirring and incorporating after each addition.
  • Stir in the gravy and the milk.
  • Return to heat and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth.
  • Stir in the turkey pieces and heat through. (At this point, you can add more of any of the liquids if the sauce is too thick.)
  • Serve the turkey and gravy sauce over the crunchy stuffing balls. Any leftover vegetables can be served with the meal or a green salad would be a great compliment. And don't forget the cranberry sauce!
