Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ⅔ cups cooked turkey
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup canola oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups turkey gravy

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 30 muffin cups.
Blend turkey in a food processor until pureed. Mix flour, white sugar, turkey, butter, canola oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until all batter is moistened. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool muffins in the tins for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
2 extra-large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups leftover stuffing
2 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Whisk together the eggs and 1 cup heavy cream in a large bowl and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Add the leftover stuffing and thoroughly combine. Set aside for about 20 minutes to let the stuffing absorb the cream and eggs.
Divide the stuffing mixture among the muffin cups in the prepared pan, using an ice cream scoop for a rounded top. Bake in the middle of the oven until the tops are golden and they spring back to the touch, about 15 minutes.
Reheat the leftover mashed potatoes to very hot, then add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the sour cream, melted butter and remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe about 1/4 cup potatoes on the tops of each stuffing cupcake. Torch the tops of the cupcakes so the edges of the potatoes get toasty and a little charred. Garnish with chives and serve.
