These leftover turkey and stuffing waffles with gravy are the reason I now look forward to the day after Thanksgiving more than the actual holiday. They take everything you love about the big meal and turn it into something crispy, golden, and completely irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 450g) leftover stuffing
  • 1 cup (about 200g) leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (about 240ml) leftover gravy
  • Butter or non-stick spray, for the waffle iron
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or cranberry sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  2. Shred or chop your leftover turkey into small, bite-sized pieces.
  3. Combine the stuffing, turkey, and egg in a mixing bowl. Mix until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed. If too dry, add a splash of turkey broth or milk; if too wet, add more stuffing or breadcrumbs.
  4. Brush or spray the waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Scoop about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the mixture onto the waffle iron. Gently press it down with a spatula or spoon.
  6. Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-6 minutes, until golden brown and firm. The waffle should release easily when done.
  7. Carefully remove the waffle using a spatula. Keep warm in a 200°F oven while making more.
  8. Warm the gravy in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave.
  9. Serve immediately: place a waffle on a plate, pour warm gravy over the top, and add garnishes if desired.

Notes

Don’t overmix the stuffing to avoid a pasty texture. Let the waffle cook until deeply golden for the best crunch. If the waffle sticks, it’s not ready—close and cook another 1-2 minutes. Keep gravy warm and thin enough to pour. Make a batch and keep warm in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes, but don’t stack them to avoid sogginess.
