Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 cup stuffing mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Waffle maker
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded turkey, stuffing mix, milk, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a consistent batter-like texture.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the stuffing absorb the liquid and creates a more cohesive waffle mixture.
- Scoop approximately 1/2 cup of the turkey-stuffing mixture into the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a silicone spatula to prevent breaking. Repeat the process with remaining mixture.
- Optional: Serve hot with additional maple syrup drizzled on top, or garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives.
- For best results, let waffles rest on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes after cooking to maintain crispiness.
Tips
- Moisture is Key: Ensure your turkey is shredded finely and your stuffing mix is not too dry. This helps create a consistent waffle texture.
- Resting Time Matters: Let your mixture rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows ingredients to meld and creates a more cohesive batter.
- Waffle Maker Temperature: Medium-high heat is crucial. Too low, and your waffles won't crisp; too high, and they'll burn.
- Non-Stick is a Must: Always use cooking spray or a well-seasoned waffle maker to prevent sticking.
- Portion Control: Use a 1/2 cup measure for consistent waffle sizes and even cooking.
- Crispy Edge Technique: Cook until edges are golden brown for that perfect crunch.
- Serving Suggestion: Drizzle with extra maple syrup or add fresh herbs for a gourmet touch.
