Leftover Turkey Bombs
Leftover Turkey Bombs are everything you love about Thanksgiving dinner stuffed into soft and chewy stuffing-like biscuits all dipped in luscious gravy! They are stuffed with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, ooey gooey Gruyere cheese and cream cheese. The filling alone is spoon worthy and would make a tantalizing dip, but add the biscuit dough spiked with sage, parsley and thyme, and you have one of the tastiest comfort foods you ever will devour!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
Pour warmed chicken broth into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (see cook’s note if you do not have a stand mixer), sprinkle yeast over top, add sugar and stir. Allow yeast to bloom for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Once it is nice and foamy, it is ready.
3
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, Gruyere, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.

In a small bowl beat egg, set aside. Sprinkle clean counter top with ¼ cup flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick mat or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

5
Add flour, salt, sage, parsley, and thyme to stand mixer. Knead for ⏱️ 3- 5 minutes until the dough comes together in one ball. Add more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed, if bread is too sticky to come together. Dough should be very tacky when you pull it out of the mixer, not sticky.
6
Place dough on floured counter top and knead in flour until it is no longer tacky, just a minute or so. Form dough into a ball. We are going to cut this ball into 36 (somewhat) even pieces. First quarter the ball of dough (I use a pizza cutter but a butter knife will also work). Roll each quarter into a fat log. Cut that into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a log and cut into 3 pieces. When you are done you will have 36 pieces.
7
Working with one piece at a time, roll each dough piece into a ball and then flatten it into a small circle. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling to the center (I use a heaping tablespoon and eyeball it). Carefully pull each side over the filling, pinching the edges closed. Roll the dough into a ball.
8
Place 12 balls on prepared baking sheet and brush each with egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees F for ⏱️ 12-14 minutes until the tops are golden. Repeat until dough is gone.

The ooey gooey filling may escape some of your Thanksgiving Dinner Bombs. That is a beautiful thing! Scoop all that cheesy goodness up onto the plate and serve. Your guests will go crazy over them. Serve with cranberry sauce and warmed gravy.
