Ingredients
4 stuffing patties:
4 c of leftover stuffing

Cheese Sauce
Cheese Sauce
2 T Flour
2 T Butter
1 c beer (I used pumpkin)
2 c milk
1 cCheddar Cheese
1/3 c Parmesan cheese
Leftover gravy if you have it
1 T of chipotle adobo sauce if you prefer
8 slices of crisply cooked bacon
Leftover cranberry sauce or fresh sliced tomatoes
Instructions
Stuffing Patties
Chop stuffing finely. Add broth if needed to dampen stuffing.
Add 2 T of flour to bind or more if needed.
Shape into 4 patties and roll in freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Fry in butter or oil. Let them get good and crispy. They will look like a hamburger patty. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
Cheese Sauce
Melt butter. Whisk in flour. It will get all lumpy.
Cook for about a minute to take away the floury taste. Now gradually stir in the beer and let it cook for a
minute. Add the rest of the milk whisking as you go. Do not let it get to thick.
Stir in your cheese whisking as you go to make it smooth and creamy.
If it is to thick add more liquid and now is the time to stir in your leftover gravy if you have it. You can also add the chipotle sauce if you like it. Keep warm.
Assembly:
Now you are ready to assemble. Take your warm stuffing patties and top with warmed 1/4 lb of turkey.
Add lots of cheese sauce. Garnish with cranberry sauce and bacon.
