Leftover Stuffing Waffles w/ Cranberry Syrup
I have to admit I was a skeptic on this one, but we tried a recipe since I had both stuffing and cranberry sauce leftover from our Thanksgiving feast. It passes the taste test, it is frugal, and easy to make.This is not a recipe for someone who loves their sweet breakfast pancakes and waffles, rather it is for the more savory food lover. The person who tolerates breakfast while they are waiting for lunch or who would rather order a BLT or a chicken biscuit for their first meal of the day.

Waffles
- 3 Cups Leftover Stuffing
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Eggs beaten
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- Non-stick Spray for the waffle iron
Syrup
- 1 Cup of Cranberry Sauce
- 1 Cup of Maple Syrup the original recipe called for a 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron on medium heat
- Mix the stuffing, cheese, and egg in a bowl, set aside
- In a saucepan add cranberry sauce and the maple syrup turn on low heat
- Spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray
- Spoon approximately one cup of the mixture into the waffle iron
- Cook for approximately 10 minutes per waffle
- Stir the syrup to make sure it is heating but not sticking to the pan
- For each waffle you are serving pour some syrup on the top
Notes
The original recipe that I used called for less maple syrup in the syrup and to appease the sweet breakfast folks in my house I simply added more. The original recipe also called for processing the cranberries down with an emulsion blender, I prefer the berries as a mix of chunky and whole and therefor left them that way when I made the syrup.
Whichever way you choose to go on this recipe, it is a true winner for something innovative to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. Â

Sweet Cranberry Smoothie
Don't ditch that leftover cranberry sauce on the trash, especially if you made it from scratch. Our homemade cranberry sauce was such a big hit this year that we hated to throw it out! Instead, I froze it until I could think of something to do with it. One Sunday morning I was rifling through my freezer to find ingredients for smoothies and there sat that frozen bag of cranberry sauce just begging to be tested in the blender. We tried a couple of concoctions, one was sweet and kid-friendly, which is this recipe and we also made one that is a bit more grown-up tasting because it is more tart. Both are delicious and made from the leftover Thanksgiving cranberry sauce.

Smoked Turkey Anytime
We call this Soaked Turkey Anytime because it does not have to be Thanksgiving to cook a turkey. This is an economical way to feed a family and turkey is low in fat so it is a healthier alternative to some other meats. This smoked turkey comes together in a half day because it is splayed open for faster cook time.
