large mixing bowl
waffle maker
- 4 cups leftover stuffing
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup chicken stock or water or more, depending on the dryness of the stuffing
Preheat the waffle maker.
Mix the leftover stuffing, eggs, and chicken stock in a bowl.
The stuffing needs to be wet and mushy. If needed, add more water or chicken stock, 2 tablespoons at a time, to get the right consistency.
Spoon the stuffing mixture into the waffle maker and cook until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. The time will vary depending on your waffle iron. See note below.
Serve warm with reheated leftovers such as gravy, mashed potatoes, and turkey. One waffle will serve 2 people.
Note: If it's your first time cooking stuffing waffles, do a test run with your equipment to determine your waffle iron temperature setting and cook time. It's OK to open the lid and check on it.
To Keep Warm: Place the cooked waffles on a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet in a 225°F oven for up to 2 hours.
To Store: Let them come down to room temperature before storing. Waffles will hold in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. In addition, freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
To Reheat: Reheat from the refrigerator or freezer in a toaster. Cut the waffles in half if they don't fit. Or, reheat on a cookie sheet in a 300°F oven until warm and crisp.
