It’s mahjong night, ladies, so let’s make Friendsgiving stuffing bites. It’s the whole plate in one bite.

You’ll need

Makes 12. About 15 minutes, plus 20 minutes to bake.

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix, made as the box says, then cooled
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cooked turkey, chopped
  • ½ cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • Fresh parsley or rosemary

Make it

  1. Illustration: stirring an egg into cooled stuffing in a bowl

    Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Stir the egg into the cooled stuffing.

  2. Illustration: pressing stuffing into the cups of a muffin tin

    Press the stuffing into the cups, making a little well in each.

  3. Illustration: golden baked stuffing cups in a muffin tin

    Bake for about 20 minutes, until crisp at the edges, and cool for 5 minutes.

  4. Illustration: spooning turkey and cranberry sauce into the stuffing cups

    Fill with turkey and top with cranberry sauce and a little parsley.

Lady M’s tips

  • Rotisserie or deli turkey works perfectly.
  • Bake the cups ahead, then warm them and fill just before serving.
  • A mini muffin tin makes smaller bites. Bake them a few minutes less.

On my table

Serve them warm on a platter, with napkins and no forks.

That’s it, and you’re ready for game night. Bird Bam Cheers! ...and happy mahj-ing!
