Whether you use a stuffing recipe passed down from Aunt Betty or try out a new one, stuffing is arguably one of the best parts of the Thanksgiving meal. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the few dishes that we only typically eat only once a year.
And if you’re anything like me, you make a lot of stuffing so that you can enjoy it for a couple of extra days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for just piling the leftover stuffing on a plate along with some turkey and gravy and reheating it in the microwave the next day. And, of course, it’s yummy on my much-anticipated turkey sandwich. But leftover stuffing is actually very versatile and you can get pretty creative with it.
Here are some fun and tasty ways to enjoy all that delicious extra stuffing:
- Waffle it
- Deep fry it
- Cheesy egg cups
- Gravy-filled stuffing muffins
- Stuffing hash
- Stuffing meatballs
- Stuffing bundt
- Vegetable and stuffing dumpling soup
- Stuffing and turkey cakes
- Stuffing and sausage strata
- Cheesy stuffing balls
- Stuffing stuffed peppers
- Bacon-wrapped stuffing bites
- Stuffing pizza crust
