Crispy Leftover Stuffing Patties

65 min 4 servings Easy
After a big holiday meal, you might find yourself with an abundance of leftover stuffing. Instead of reheating it in the same old way, why not transform it into crispy, golden patties? This recipe is perfect for those looking to give their leftovers a new lease on life. These patties are simple to make and are packed with flavour. With a crispy exterior and a soft, savoury interior, they make a delightful snack or side dish. Whether you’re serving them at brunch or as an appetizer, they’re sure to be a hit.

Instructions

1

Prepare the mixture

In a large bowl, combine the leftover stuffing, beaten egg, and flour. If the mixture is too dry, add chicken broth a tablespoon at a time until it holds together.

Pro tip: The mixture should be moist enough to form patties but not too sticky.

2

Shape the patties

Form the mixture into eight equal-sized patties, about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Using damp hands can help prevent the mixture from sticking.

3

Chill the patties

Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the patties maintain their shape during frying.

4

Heat the oil

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Pro tip: Properly heated oil ensures a crispy crust.

5

Fry the patties

Add the patties to the skillet in batches, without overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

6

Drain and serve

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your choice of condiments.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best texture.
