Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast Hash
Thanksgiving leftovers breakfast hash is a warm, hearty delicious breakfast that uses leftover Thanksgiving turkey, dressing or stuffing, veggies and gravy, all topped with a fried egg!
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients
- ½ cup leftover turkey, chopped
- ½ cup leftover dressing or stuffing
- ¼ cup leftover Brussels sprouts or other cooked veggies, optional
- 3-4 tablespoons leftover gravy, to taste
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: Shredded cheese, chopped green onion, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, warm the chopped turkey, dressing and veggies, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes. Add the leftover gravy to the pan and stir to heat through and get everything well mixed.
- Move the turkey mixture to the side of the pan, spray some cooking spray (or melt some butter) in the empty spot in the pan and crack in your egg. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover the pan with a lid and fry the egg for 1-2 minutes, checking occasionally, until desired degree of doneness. (You could also fry your egg in a separate pan, if desired.)
- Transfer the hash mixture to a plate. Add the fried egg on top and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Turkey: Make sure to chop your turkey into small pieces so you can get a bit in every bite.
Dressing: You’ll need a half-cup of leftover dressing or stuffing. I think a bread-based one works best here (even a cornbread-based dressing) but if you made a rice-based stuffing, that’s fine too.
You could probably even use leftover mashed potatoes if you want as the starch in this hash.
Veggies: I like adding in leftover Brussels sprouts for a veggie in this hash. If you don’t want to do that, you could wilt in a handful of fresh spinach, use some leftover green beans or just skip the veggie component.
Gravy: The gravy is really going to take this over the top and bring all the different parts together. Plus, it helps keep the hash from being dry. Definitely add in the gravy!
Egg: I prefer a fried egg over my hash, but you could also scramble a couple of eggs into the hash instead.
