Ingredients

Scale

Stuffing

  • 1/2 cup Wesson Canola Oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 ribs celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 10 cups bread, cut into 1/2” cubes
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Leftover Toppings

  • Mashed potatoes
  • Cooked turkey, shredded
  • Cooked or roasted vegetables
  • Cranberry sauce
  • Turkey gravy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Stuffing: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of Wesson Canola Oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, chopped celery, fresh sage, parsley, and rosemary for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Mix the Stuffing: In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with the vegetable and onion mixture as well as the chicken or vegetable stock. Toss everything together until the bread is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  3. Bake the Stuffing: Transfer the stuffing mixture into a lightly oiled 13” x 9” baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. If you have leftover stuffing, you can skip this baking step.
  4. Preheat Waffle Iron & Warm Leftovers: While the stuffing cools, preheat your waffle iron. Warm your leftover mashed potatoes, turkey, roasted vegetables, cranberry sauce, and gravy in the microwave or oven to serve later.
  5. Assemble and Cook Waffle Stuffing: Combine the baked or leftover stuffing with the lightly beaten eggs and mix well. Oil the waffle iron thoroughly. Pack approximately 3/4 cup of stuffing into each waffle section. Close the iron and cook for about 5 minutes or until the waffles are crisp and golden brown. Repeat with remaining stuffing.
  6. Keep Waffles Warm: Place cooked stuffing waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.
  7. Serve: Top each stuffing waffle with mashed potatoes, shredded turkey, roasted vegetables, cranberry sauce, and a generous dollop of turkey gravy. Enjoy your festive and comforting Stuffing Waffle Stack!

Notes

  • Use leftover stuffing to save time, skipping the initial baking step.
  • Ensure waffle iron is well oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven to maintain crispness.
  • Customize toppings to your preference or available leftovers.
  • Fresh herbs add aroma and flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if needed.
