Stuffing Mix, Biscuits, and Optional Add-Ins like Turkey or Apple

To make these easy stuffing biscuits, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Base Ingredients:

• 1 (6 oz) package of stuffing mix (any variety: herb, cornbread, or savory)
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg
• ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional Add-Ins:

• ½ cup cooked, crumbled sausage
• ½ cup cooked turkey (diced or shredded)
• ¼ cup finely chopped apple
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or sage

Tip: Using stuffing with giblets? Simply fold the giblets into the mixture before baking for added depth of flavor.

Tools for Making Stuffing Biscuits the Easy Way

Here’s what you’ll need to bake these biscuits like a pro:

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk or wooden spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Muffin tin or parchment-lined baking sheet
• Ice cream scoop or large spoon
• Cooling rack

For perfectly portioned biscuits, use a muffin pan—it creates even, golden edges and soft centers.

From Mixing to Baking—A Foolproof Guide to Stuffing Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.

Step 2: Hydrate the Stuffing Mix
In a bowl, combine stuffing mix and broth. Let sit for 5–10 minutes so the stuffing absorbs the liquid and softens.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream, and melted butter.

Step 4: Combine Everything
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, then fold in the soaked stuffing. Stir gently until fully combined. Add any optional ingredients now (e.g., turkey or sausage).

Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Spoon the dough into muffin cups or onto a baking sheet in rounded mounds. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, gravy, or alongside apple-stuffed turkey.

How to Get Fluffy Centers and Golden-Brown Tops Every Time
