Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package or 2-3 cups cooked stuffing
- 1-2 cups cooked and chopped turkey
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 cup prepared turkey gravy
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare a muffin pan by spraying it thoroughly with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cooked stuffing, chopped turkey, and whisked egg until the mixture is well combined. This ensures the egg binds the ingredients together during baking.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Press the mixture firmly into each cup of the prepared muffin pan, ensuring the cups are evenly filled to create uniform baking and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the cups in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown, which indicates they are cooked through and crispy on top.
- Cool and Release: Allow the muffin cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a sharp knife around each cup to loosen and release them from the pan without breaking.
- Serve: Plate the turkey and stuffing cups, generously top each with warm turkey gravy, and serve immediately for a comforting and delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure the turkey and stuffing are both fully cooked before starting.
- Pressing firmly into the muffin pan is key for the cups to hold their shape.
- Allow the cups to cool slightly before removing to prevent crumbling.
- Leftover mashed potatoes can be added to the mixture for extra moisture and flavor.
- Use homemade gravy or a quality store-bought gravy depending on convenience.
