Instructions:

Prepare the Mixture:

In a big bowl, combine the remaining turkey and stuffing; mix thoroughly with your hands until it sticks together.

When the mixture is too dry, gradually add the beaten eggs until it becomes moist enough to shape.

Shape the Balls:

Take a small amount of the mixture into your hands and form it into a dense ball about as large as a golf ball. Repeat with all of the leftovers.

Coat with Breadcrumbs:

Roll each ball in breadcrumbs so that all of them are equally coated. This technique helps to produce a crunchy crust when they are fried.

Over medium-high heat oil a deep skillet or frying pan.

The stuffing balls should go carefully into hot oil, you can fry them in batches if there are many.

Success Tips:
