Why I Love This Recipe
Are you wondering what to do with all your leftover Thanksgiving foods? Sure, leftover ham is great in Lentil + Ham soup, and leftover turkey bones make a great broth. One of my favorite things to do is make this stuffing waffles recipe. You can use any basic stuffing recipe!
This is what you do with it! These crispy, savory waffles are a perfect breakfast. When you top them with an egg (I love a fried egg with it) and a bit of leftover cranberry sauce, it’s a wonderful way to enjoy holiday leftovers in a new and reimagined way! Even a drizzle of maple syrup is a fun way to make this savory and sweet.
It’s the perfect meal to enjoy while you’re starting your holiday shopping, alongside a bulletproof coffee, perhaps?
Whatever you do, remember that the waffle maker isn’t just for regular waffles! I’ve been known to make omelets in them, and now these leftover stuffing waffles!

Recipe Ingredients
- Stuffing mixture, any kind you like or have leftover.
- Cooking Spray: Oil or Ghee. This will keep the stuffing from sticking (I like this sprayable ghee oil). Butter tends to burn a bit on the fast side for this recipe, but you can also use that too if it’s what you have or prefer.
- Cranberry Sauce. I love this Paleo recipe, but any version you have works great!
- Eggs, optional. The eggs make this a complete breakfast!

How to Make it
- First, preheat your waffle iron to a medium heat. Spray it lightly with oil or ghee.
- Spoon about 1/2-3/4 cup of leftover stuffing onto the center. The amount you add will depend on the size of your waffle iron.
- Close and cook the waffle for about 4-5 minutes.
- The waffle should be nice and crispy, and it should release easily from the waffle iron when it’s ready.
While the waffles are cooking, make your eggs however you like them. Scrambled, sunny side up, air fried, and over easy are all beautiful choices!
Once the waffle is golden brown, carefully transfer it to a plate and top with an egg. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then spoon some cranberry sauce on top of everything. A drizzle of leftover gravy adds an extra savory layer.
Repeat the waffle cooking process and serve immediately, maybe with a lightly sweet banana coffee smoothie!
And that’s it! If you make this recipe, please let me know what you think!
