Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, stuffing, shredded turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they hold together well.
Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed turkey stuffing balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for even cooking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown on the outside and heated through.
Serve: Remove from oven and serve the turkey stuffing balls hot. They pair wonderfully with gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.

Notes

For added flavor, mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the mixture before forming the balls.
These stuffing balls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven just before serving to save time.
