This great Leftover Turkey & Stuffing Breakfast Waffle Sandwich will make you want to jump right to the day after the holiday!

One of our Food Channel chefs says, "Somewhere between Thanksgiving and holiday shopping it’s time for leftovers. At our house that means casual brunch prepared by our 'short-order breakfast cook' who makes late breakfast for sleepy weekenders as they slowly wake up, one by one."

For this recipe, we transformed left-over cornbread stuffing into buttery-crisp waffles and then sandwiched them around warm sliced turkey, crisp bacon and an over-easy egg topped with melting cheese for a comforting late start on a holiday week-end. These waffles are also delicious layered with turkey, gravy and a dollop of cranberry sauce for lunch or an indulgent late night snack.

Foodie Byte: Stuffing waffles work best with warm stuffing made with finely chopped ingredients. Fine chop stuffing with larger pieces of vegetables or meat and then heat stuffing briefly in microwave. If your stuffing blend is dry, add chicken broth, as needed, to lightly form stuffing into small patties.

 

Foodie Byte

Chicken broth is a great staple to keep on hand at the holidays--it has a multitude of uses.

Ingredients

2 slices carved turkey, warm
1 slice bacon, cooked crisp
1 egg, cooked over easy
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
As needed, nonstick cooking spray

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Using a #16 ice cream scoop or measuring cup, portion two (1/3 cup each) scoops of stuffing; shape each into about a 2-inch wide by 1-inch thick patty.

Place patties on waffle iron, close lid and bake for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
