Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup cranberry sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups leftover stuffing
1 cup finely diced cooked turkey
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Puree the cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the bites: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Put the stuffing, turkey, Parmesan, rosemary and 1 egg in a medium bowl and mix well until the mixture is evenly moistened.
