Happy (belated) Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you all had a most wonderful and satisfying holiday.
As every new year ends, my mother looks forward to one thing: hosting Thanksgiving. Of course, hosting means we’re always eating leftovers from dinner for days following…so here’s a new idea to get rid of stuffing…which doesn’t last long as leftovers anyway. For an extra treat, put some turkey pieces in the middle of the stuffing balls.
Fried Stuffing Bites with Cranberry Sauce Pesto
- Leftover stuffing
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- Oil, for frying
Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
Cut leftover stuffing into bite-sized cubes and set aside. In a small bowl whisk eggs and milk. Coat each stuffing bite with this egg wash, then dredge in the bread crumbs until fully coated and set aside. In a food processor blend cranberry sauce, pepper and walnuts and set aside. Once oil is at temperature fry each piece of stuffing until golden brown about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and serve with cranberry pesto.
