TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover cooked stuffing
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • Dash salt
  • Dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 pound sliced leftover cooked turkey, warmed

Instructions

  • 1. Shape stuffing into four 1/2-in.-thick patties; set aside. In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until blended; cook until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and temperature reaches 160°, whisking constantly.
  • 2. Reduce heat to very low. Very slowly drizzle in warm melted butter, whisking constantly. Whisk in parsley, salt and nutmeg. Transfer to a small bowl. Place bowl in a larger bowl of warm water. Keep warm, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve, up to 30 minutes.
  • 3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook stuffing patties 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°. Keep warm.
  • 4. Meanwhile, place 2-3 in. of water in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break cold eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl; holding bowl close to surface of water, slip egg into water.
  • 5. Cook, uncovered, 3-5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water.
  • 6. To serve, place turkey and eggs on stuffing patties. Top with hollandaise sauce.
