Ingredients
Scale
For the Stuffing Waffles:
- 4 cups leftover stuffing (any kind)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup turkey or chicken stock
- Nonstick cooking spray
For the Turkey Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups turkey stock (or chicken stock)
- 1 cup shredded leftover turkey (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover stuffing, eggs, and turkey stock. Mix well until the stuffing is moist but not overly wet. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Heat your waffle iron to medium-high and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Scoop about 1 cup of the stuffing mixture (or enough to fill your waffle iron) into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is golden and smooth.
- Gradually pour in the turkey stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- If using, stir in the shredded leftover turkey and let it heat through. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- If the stuffing mixture feels too dry, add a bit more turkey stock or even a splash of milk. If it’s too wet, add a little extra stuffing or breadcrumbs to help it bind together.
- If you don’t have turkey stock, you can substitute with chicken stock or broth. You can also add a dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to enhance the gravy’s umami flavor.
