How To Make The Best Thanksgiving Stuffing, Turkey and Mashed Potato Patties
For a full list of ingredients and instructions, please scroll down to the recipe near the bottom of this page.
- Whip the eggs with a fork in a medium-sized bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.
- Add the mashed potatoes, stuffing, diced turkey, and sliced green onions. Mix well.
- Add about half of the flour and mix. You want the mixture to be tacky and sticky but not wet. You may need to add more flour, depending on how wet your mashed potatoes and stuffing are. See my tips below for gauging how much flour to add.
- Roll about 1/2 cup of the potato mixture into balls and add them to the skillet with the melted butter and oil.
- Press the balls down slightly to form patties, then fry until golden brown. Flip them carefully and fry on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy!
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Don’t just add all the flour until you know how much you’ll need. See the next point.
- Test a pattie to see if you have enough flour in the mixture by melting the butter and oil in a large skillet until foaming. Roll about 1/2 cup of the turkey, stuffing, potato mixture into a ball and set it in the hot fat. Flatten it slightly and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Flip as needed. If the pattie falls apart, you’ll need to add more flour. If it holds together nicely, then move on!
- Use mashed sweet potatoes or even leftover sweet potato casserole in this dish instead of regular mash.
