→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3 cups mashed potatoes
02 - 3 cups stuffing
03 - 1 ½ cups shredded turkey
04 - Gravy
05 - Optional: Black pepper

→ Optional Coating

06 - Panko breadcrumbs

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
02 - Warm up the mashed potatoes and stuffing so they are easier to handle.
03 - In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, stuffing, shredded turkey, and season with black pepper if desired.
04 - Shape the mixture into balls, pressing down firmly as you would when forming a snowball.
05 - Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
06 - Plate the balls and coat them with hot gravy before serving.
07 - For a crispy version, coat the balls in seasoned panko and fry them in a mix of butter and grapeseed oil on a nonstick pan until golden, similar to cooking crab cakes.

# Notes:

01 - No exact measurements are required; combine equal parts mashed potatoes and stuffing, then add half the amount of shredded turkey.
02 - Ingredients should be warmed to ensure easier handling and proper shaping.
03 - If the mixture is too soft, chill the balls slightly before frying to help them hold their shape.
