Turkey Cakes

1 c prepared stuffing of your choice
1 stalk super thin diced celery
½ t red pepper
2 eggs
Milk (optional)
keep some extra stuffing on hand just in case

Separate the mixture and form into 4 – 6 flat patties
Cooking Options:
Place patties on greased foil in toaster oven at 350 for 20 minutes
Pan fry on medium heat with a ¼ inch hunk of butter, flipping once until done
George Forman Grill them for about 5 minutes on medium
Place on greased cookie sheet in a conventional oven at 350 for 20 minutes
While cakes are cooking, make the sauce:
½ c mayo
2T cranberry sauce
A big squeeze of fresh lemon
S&P to taste
Mix together in a bowl, pour over the turkey cakes when they are done.
Serve your Turkey Cakes glazed with the sauce, with other Thanksgiving leftovers, or as a stand alone meal with your favorite veggies and a rice pilaf. Enjoy!
