Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the crispy turkey stuffing balls. Ensure your mashed potatoes are at room temperature, warming them slightly if chilled. If your stuffing appears dry, moisten it with a little broth to revive the flavors.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fluffy mashed potatoes and stuffing, blending them thoroughly. Gently fold in shredded turkey and season generously with black pepper. Once combined, use your hands to form the mixture into golf ball-sized portions, about 12 in total.

Decide whether you want to bake or pan-fry your crispy turkey stuffing balls. For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the balls on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. For pan-frying, roll them in panko breadcrumbs and fry in heated butter or oil until golden.

Once cooked, remove your crispy turkey stuffing balls from the oven or pan and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them hot, topped with warm gravy, and accessorized with cranberry sauce.
