Ingredients

2 cups leftover turkey, chopped
2 cups leftover stuffing
4 cups leftover mashed potato
1 large egg
½ cup cheese, shredded to taste
turkey gravy, leftover or canned
cooking spray or butter, for greasing

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine leftover chopped up turkey, leftover stuffing, leftover mashed potato and egg. You need about ½ of the mixture to be potato and ¼ stuffing and ¼ turkey. Amounts are a rough estimate. Sometimes we have more and sometimes we have less. These muffins are always fabulous. Add shredded cheese if desired. We usually do.
We usually just use our hands to mix.
Once blended together, make ball sized portions and place in to each hole in your muffin tin.
Press a pinch of shredded cheese on top, if desired, and bake for 20 minutes.
Heat up your gravy.
Broil for a minute or two before removing from the oven to brown your cheese if desired or required. Serve with gravy. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep it light: Season the muffin mixture lightly if you want to. Avoid going heavy on the spices, as the stuffing, turkey, and gravy all have lots of them.
Make it in a dish: If you’re making this as a meal for the family, it makes sense to get everything in a pan or a dish, as opposed to a muffin tray.
Pack it in: Use an ice cream scoop to pack the mixture into muffin tins.
Keep it moist: If your leftover stuffing is too dry, and the muffin mixture isn’t holding its shape properly, you might want to add a splash of water or chicken stock to lend it some moisture, and to help all the ingredients bind together.
