They are quick and easy to make and taste amazing. If you don't have leftover stuffing right now, trust me, you're going to want to save this recipe for when you do!

Stuffing leftovers are especially popular after big holiday dinners like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. I often make way too much stuffing, so having a delicious and practical leftover stuffing recipe is gold!

Obviously, this recipe was inspired by my Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing. I make it every year because it's not only a family tradition, it's THE BEST stuffing. These stuffing crackers pair well with any soup! If you're looking for leftover stuffing recipes, you'll LOVE this one!

At Thanksgiving, we always have our traditional roast turkey recipe, my Grandma's delicious stuffing with fresh parsley,(shown below) green beans , mashed potatoes, Turnip and Apple Casserole, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. My family loves this meal so much that they want me to make enough so we have a ton of leftovers; it's one of the best parts of Thanksgiving. But the leftovers don't always get eaten up. Since I don't like food waste, finding delicious ways to use up leftovers is something I try to do regularly. You can check out my Leftover Recipes HERE.

We tried making a leftover stuffing breakfast casserole we found online and honestly, it was not my thing. Nor are stuffing balls or stuffing patties. That inspired me to create something my family would love with my leftover stuffing! The recipe idea came to me in the middle of the night (as so many good ideas do), I experimented with it and it worked! These crackers are the perfect way to use up that excess stuffing!

🥘Ingredients

For this leftover stuffing recipe, you'll need:

• leftover stuffing
• milk *I use 1%
• parmesan cheese
• garlic powder
• egg
• water
• coarse salt

See recipe card for quantities.

🔪Instructions

This recipe is as easy as mixing your stuffing with a few ingredients, rolling it out, cutting and baking it, just as you would rolled cookies.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C and blend stuffing in a food processor until a fine crumb forms
2. In a large bowl, add the milk, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese in with the stuffing in a mixing bowl and blend together until it forms a ball. Place on floured board.
3. Roll out onto floured surface. *The thinner they are, the crisper they will be.
4. Cut the dough into squares or desired shapes. *I use a pizza wheel for this. (Don't worry -they don't have to be perfect. As you can see, mine aren't. )Then gather up the scraps and roll them out again, until it's all gone.
5. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and prick all over with a fork.
6. Whisk egg white and water together with a fork. Brush onto crackers with a pastry brush.

Hint: Roll out the stuffing as thin as you can. You'll want to keep flouring your rolling pin as you do it to prevent it from sticking to the mixture. I keep a cup of flour beside my working area

⏲️ Baking time

• Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. * 18 minutes was perfect for me
• Let cool on a cooling rack before serving. They get crisper as they cool.

🥗 What to serve stuffing crackers with?

These crackers are a great side dish to serve with:

• cheese
• meat- deli meats, leftover turkey
• apples
• tomatoes
• avocado
• Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
• Red Lentil Spinach Soup
• Healthy Pumpkin Soup (no cream)
• Tomato Soup

📖Substitutions & Variations.

• Lactose or Dairy-free - use a lactose or dairy-free milk instead of 1%
• Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to the mix! You could also add a dash or hot sauce like Tabasco or sriracha.
• Stuffing mix - if you don't have leftover stuffing and want to try these, use a store-bought boxed stuffing mix.

🍽Equipment

Your will need a food processor, a baking sheet, a pastry brush ,, a rolling pin, a cutting board (affiliate links) and a spatula.

I like to use a pizza wheel to cut them and personally, I prefer a thinner spatula, as it makes it easier to remove the crackers from the baking sheet. A cooling rack (affiliate links) comes in handy too!

💭Top tip

Use Frozen stuffing: If you're tired of cooking after preparing a big meal and don't want to make these stuffing crackers right away, throw your leftover stuffing into a freezer bag and freeze it for up to 3 months or until you're ready to make the crackers (that's what I did)! Then simply defrost the stuffing and you're ready to go! Once they are cooked, the crackers themselves can also be frozen again for up to 3 months.
