Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups prepared stuffing
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl until smooth. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a third shallow bowl.
  • Scoop stuffing, about 2 tablespoons per serving, and roll into a ball using your hands, forming about 12 balls. Dredge each ball through the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Transfer each ball to the egg mixture and evenly coat. Roll each ball in the bread crumbs mixture until evenly coated. Set each stuffing ball on a plate and allow to sit for the coating to stick to the stuffing.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Carefully lower 4 to 5 stuffing balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining stuffing balls.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of stuffing flavors. This will give your stuffing balls more depth and interest. Some popular stuffing flavors include sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and onion.
  • Don't overstuff the balls. This will make them dense and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the stuffing. Overmixing will make the stuffing tough.
  • Wet your hands before forming the balls. This will help prevent the stuffing from sticking to your hands.
  • Cook the stuffing balls until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. This will usually take about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the stuffing balls hot. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Leftover stuffing balls are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover stuffing. They are also a great way to add a festive touch to your holiday meals.
