From the Kitchens of Amy & JJ
Thanksgiving is the best meal of the year in my house and smells linger for days in our kitchen. And while turkey sandwiches piled high still roam the house while we put up Christmas decorations… this leftover hack is for the thrill seekers who want more than just a sandwich!
This recipe is so simple and requires almost zero effort.
Thanksgiving
Leftover Waffles
1. Get your waffle maker. (Or throw the cast iron pan on your stove top!) Turn it up – these aren’t timed, but watched and a nice high heat will crisp up the stuffing/dressing as well as bind it together.
2. Put leftover stuffing into the waffle maker. You should need a little muscle to clamp it shut. Plenty of stuffing on the lower layer – mounding some in each of the four edges. (Note, there is so much butter in dressing/stuffing already that you may not need cooking oil or spray on the griddles.)
3. Cook the waffles. With my Waring Pro style waffle maker, it takes around 6 minutes and I do two at a time.
4. Warm up turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, baked corn, gravy – whatever you like to eat on a leftover sandwich can be dolloped onto this beauty,
5. Remove waffles, top with your favorite leftovers. I also add a little cranberry sauce to the plate to even the savory with sweet.
Enjoy!
