Leftover Stuffing Veggi Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place leftover stuffing in a mixing bowl. Stir in beaten egg until evenly combined.
• Scoop 1/2 cup of mixture up and form a patty. Place patty on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat 3 more times until you have 4 patties.
• Place baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook 5 minutes more or until desired browning is achieved.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to fill the pan about 3 inches deep. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, line a second rimmed baking sheet or plate with paper towels and set a cooling rack inside a third rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the stuffing in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until slightly broken up but still with chunks, 4 to 5 times.
• Scrape the stuffing into a large bowl. Whisk the egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir the egg mixture into the stuffing with a fork. Add the flour and use a rubber spatula or your hands to incorporate it until no streaks remain.
• Place the panko in a shallow baking dish. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out a portion of the stuffing mixture. Flatten the scoop slightly with your hands, then place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Bring the stuffing up over the cheese to enclose it; if the mixture sticks to your hands, spray them with a little cooking spray. Form the croquette into a football shape. Roll the croquette in the panko, pressing slightly to adhere. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining stuffing and mozzarella; you should get 10 to 12 croquettes.
• Use a spider to gently lower half of the croquettes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the Dutch oven. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let the croquettes drain for a minute, then transfer them to the baking sheet with the wire rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Bring the oil back to 325 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining croquettes.
• Serve the croquettes on a platter with leftover gravy or mustard.

Steps:

• Boil the potato until cooked. 10 minutes before they are cooked add the peas and diced carrots.
• Remove the skin whilst still hot, take care since the potato is very hot.
• Mash the potatoes and add the peas and carrots.
• Make small bite size patties and coat with the panko or bread crumbs.
• Spray a frying pan with cooking oil and fry the veggie bites until the coating is a little crispy. Serve with parmasan peppercorn dressing.
