Leftover Stuffing Waffles. What An Idea!

This looks good to me!

Thanksgiving leftover stuffing waffles

Ingredients

4 cups leftover stuffing
2 eggs
Chicken stock (optional, as needed; I did not)
Oil or butter, as needed to grease waffle iron
Leftover mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, cranberry sauce, the works!

Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron. With a wooden spoon or spatula, fold the eggs into the stuffing until evenly distributed and mixture is moist. The mixture should hold together without crumbs or pieces of bread coming off. If it doesn’t, you can add a bit of chicken stock or water to help moisten it further, a few tablespoons at a time.
My stuffing was rich enough that it didn’t need any oil to release from the iron, but you may want to grease the iron for the first waffle, just to be safe. Drop about ½ to ⅔ cup of the mixture onto the hot waffle iron, depending on how large you want your waffle. Close the waffle iron and let the waffle cook until dark golden brown and crisp. For me, this took at least 5-7 minutes per waffle. Repeat with remaining stuffing mixture. Finished waffles can be kept in in an ovenproof dish at 250 degrees in the oven, to keep crisp. (It’s also a good opportunity to heat up your other leftovers alongside it!) When done, enjoy hot, with any other leftovers you have -- I love it all!

LOL when I read the title I thought it was using leftover waffles in stuffing/dressing. That sounds good too

Don't feel bad, @jaxs mom if you misunderstood anything...

I thought that we were supposed to make waffles out of the rest of the leftovers too, like the mashed potatoes! LOL!!

Now, that would be interesting, blending everything together and making it into a waffle.

I was thinking a turkey-stuffing-cranberry-mashed potato-type waffle, covered with gravy!

@Toppers3

There's another idea, lol!

Or use the cranberry sauce in place of berries or maple syrup

Super cool!

I have done something similar to make muffins.

Also, a Thanksgiving pie is a favorite at my house - I use a large pie plate - layer the stuffing to make a crust, top with, turkey, a little gravy, chopped up leftover veggies, and cover all with a good layer of mashed potatoes. Bake till heated through and browned on top. Serve pieces of the "pie" with cranberry sauce and gravy on the side.

These recipes are starting to sound better than the actual thanksgiving meal. I may heed to break with protocol one year and just make these instead!

@GenXmuse I was actually toying with the idea of starting a thread about "leftovers . . . ok, now what do i do?" . . . there have been so many great ideas sprinkled throughout many threads so maybe I'll try and capture some of those ideas and we can build from there . . .

I saw this recipe on Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and you probably can make waffles as well.
