Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven or skillet
-
For baking: preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
For pan-frying: heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: Mix the filling
In a large bowl, combine chopped turkey, leftover stuffing, shredded cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 3: Shape the balls
Scoop portions of the mixture and roll into 1–2 inch balls. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.

Baking method: Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

Pan-frying method: Fry the balls in heated olive oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown and heated through, about 8–10 minutes.
