Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the leftover turkey, stuffing, Parmesan cheese (if using), beaten egg, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Form Balls:
- Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake:
- Lightly spray the tops of the balls with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are heated through and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve:
- Serve warm, perhaps with a dipping sauce such as gravy or cranberry sauce.
Optional Variations:
- Cheese: You can mix in some shredded cheese for extra flavor and moisture.
- Herbs: Add your favorite herbs or spices to enhance the flavor, such as thyme or sage.
- Sauces: Consider glazing the balls with barbecue sauce or a honey mustard mixture during the last few minutes of baking for added flavor.
