Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover stuffing
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg whisked
  • For the breading
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying
  • For the dipping sauce
  • ½ cup BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the stuffing parmesan cheese and whisked egg and mix.
  • Scoop stuffing, about 2 tablespoons per serving, and roll into a ball using your hands. Place on a baking sheet and set aside. (if stuffing is to dry to hold together add a splash of milk to moisten)
  • Place flour in a bowl, and whisked eggs in a second bowl, then the panko, paprika, granulated garlic, and salt in a third bowl.
  • Dredge each stuffing ball in the flour and shake off any excess. The place in the eggs and shake off any excess finally roll in the panko bread crumbs until coated. And return back to the baking sheet.
  • Heat a pot or skillet with 2 inches of vegetable oil on medium-high heat
  • Once the oil is ready place 6 of the stuffing balls into the oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes then roll the ball over and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix the bbq sauce and cranberry sauce until combined.
