Here is your shopping list! These items are in addition to your leftovers you already have.
- Natures Farm Eggs
- 1 lemon
- Dijon (Smak Dab has the best mustards)
- Butter
FULL INGREDIENT LIST:
For the stuffing “waffles”
- 1 ⅓ cup leftover stuffing
- 1 egg
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups leftover turkey meat
- 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce
- ½ cup leftover turkey gravy
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach (optional)
Quick and easy Hollandaise Sauce
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (or white vinegar)
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ cup melted butter
- salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, combine leftover stuffing with an egg until the stuffing sticks well together. Place ⅓ cup of mixture onto hot waffle iron. Close lid and cook until waffle is browned and slightly crisp.
- While waffles are cooking, add enough water to a medium/ large pot to poach your eggs (at least 4 inches deep) and bring to a gentle boil. To poach the eggs, give the water a quick stir several times in a clockwise direction to create a cyclone effect. Carefully add 1 egg at a time to the water and allow the water to swirl and cook around the egg, about 1-2 minutes. Egg will be opaque and white will surround the yolk.
- Place baby spinach and leftover turkey meat on top of the waffle while eggs are cooking. Gently remove egg from water and carefully place on top of the turkey. Spoon 2 tbsp of gravy over top of egg and season with salt and pepper. Serve with cranberry sauce on the side.
- You can substitute actual hollandaise sauce for the gravy, or in combination.
Quick and easy Hollandaise Sauce
- Melt butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds - 1 minute until hot and melted.
- Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon and salt and pepper in a blender and blend for 5 seconds.
- Slowly stream in melted butter as the blender is running.
- Voila! Easy hollandaise sauce in a snap!
