Thanksgiving Leftover Idea Turkey With Cornbread Stuffing Waffles Recipes

LEFTOVER CORNBREAD STUFFING WAFFLES

Steps:

• Beat the eggs. Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, then whisk.
• Mix in the stuffing. Place leftover stuffing in a bowl or on a plate, then reheat slightly, about 30-60 seconds in a microwave. This step is optional, but makes it easier to stir the stuffing. Add stuffing to the eggs, this mix well until thoroughly combined.
• Cook the waffles. Heat a waffle iron until hot. Spray with nonstick cooking spray, then pour ½ cup batter into each waffle mold (or work in batches if you have a single or double waffle maker). Cook for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and puffy.
• Optional: Fry eggs: While waffles are cooking (or cooling), fry up the eggs. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray or 1 Tbsp olive oil, then crack eggs and season each with a little Kosher salt and black pepper. Cook to desired doneness.
• Serve immediately. Top waffles with a fried egg, then serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Other optional toppings: butter, syrup, leftover turkey, turkey gravy, crispy fried onions or shallots.

OPEN-FACED WAFFLE CORNBREAD STUFFING SANDWICHES WITH TURKEY, BRIE AND BACON

Steps:

• For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the bacon on a baking sheet and roast until crisp, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• For the cranberry Dijon mayo: Whisk the cranberry relish together with the mayonnaise and mustard in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the cornbread waffles: Preheat a waffle maker. Put a rack on a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, stir together the leftover stuffing, eggs, parsley and sage. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and mix until well combined. Continue adding chicken broth as needed until the mixture is well moistened--it should just hold together in your hand. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using about 1/2 cup per waffle, shape the stuffing mixture into fat round patties; they should be smaller than the waffle grids.
• Spray the waffle maker with some nonstick spray, then add the stuffing patties and close the lid. Let the waffles cook until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. (The waffle maker should stop steaming when the waffles are cooked through.) Remove the waffles to the rack on the baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining waffle mixture.
• Put a few slices of Brie on each waffle, transfer to the oven, and warm just to melt the cheese a bit, about 5 minutes.
• For the turkey: Meanwhile, bring about 1 cup of broth to a simmer in a large skillet. Add the turkey and heat until just warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• For the eggs: Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Dollop some of the cranberry Dijon mayonnaise on top of each waffle. Top with some warm turkey, then some bacon, and finally an egg. Serve immediately.

LEFTOVER STUFFING WAFFLES

Steps:

• Brush plates of a rectangular waffle iron with melted butter and preheat to medium-high heat.
• Combine stock, rubbed sage, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Add egg and stir briskly until ingredients are well blended. Stir in leftover stuffing. The batter should be thick and coarse.
• Spoon batter over the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly close to the lid.
• Cook on medium-high heat until the waffles are browned and release from the waffle iron, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

STUFFING WAFFLE OPEN-FACED LEFTOVER TURKEY SANDWICH (AKA THE GREATEST LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING SANDWICH IN THE WORLD OF ALL TIME)

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron. I use a mini, round waffle maker, that works best for stacking.
• In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of the stock to the stuffing at a time until the mixture is wet but not liquid; it should have the consistency of meatball mix and should be able to be rolled into a ball.
• Lightly oil or spray a waffle iron and, depending on shape/size of mold, place a nice-size disc of wet stuffing onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and repeat if leftover stuffing mix remains.
• Heat the gravy in a small saucepot. Take off the heat and place slices of the cold turkey in the hot gravy to reheat and rehydrate.
• Make a tower with a layer of the stuffing waffle schmeared with cranberry sauce. Top with a couple slices of warm gravy-kissed turkey, then a nice sprinkling of crispy bacon. Top with a single sunny-side up egg and garnish with the crispy sage, sea salt and cracked black pepper.
