Ingredients

2 eggs
2 cups mashed potatoes leftovers
2 cups diced turkey white and or dark meat
2 cups stuffing or dressing
2 green onions sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

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 them down slightly to form a patty, then fry until golden brown; abotu 3 minutes. Flip them carefully and fry on the other side until golden brown; another 2-3 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

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!
