Ingredients

Required:

• 4 large baking potatoes
• Olive oil for baking the potatoes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups shredded BBQ pork (leftover or freshly made)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional:

• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• BBQ sauce for drizzling

Instructions

1. Bake the Potatoes:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Wash and dry the potatoes. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
   • Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Once baked, let the potatoes cool slightly.
   • Cut the top off each potato and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer to keep the shape intact. Save the scooped-out potato for another use, like mashed potatoes.
3. Fill the Potatoes:
   • Stuff each hollowed-out potato with a generous amount of shredded BBQ pork.
   • Top the pork with shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Final Bake:
   • Place the stuffed potatoes back into the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the potatoes from the oven.
   • Top with chopped green onions, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro if desired.
   • Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce for added flavor.

Ingredients

Required:

• 3 cups leftover stuffing (or fresh, if making anew)
• 1 cup leftover gravy
• Olive oil or cooking spray for air frying

Optional:

• 2 cups leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
• 1 cup mashed potatoes
• 1 cup cranberry sauce
• 1 cup green bean casserole
• 1 cup roasted vegetables (e.g., carrots, Brussels sprouts)
• 1/2 cup crumbled cornbread
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, rosemary, thyme)

Instructions

1. Prepare Stuffing Patties:
   • Take the 3 cups of stuffing and form it into small patties, about the size of your palm. Use a bit of water if the stuffing is too dry to stick together.
2. Assemble Holiday Surprise Pockets:
   • Place a stuffing patty on a flat surface.
   • Spoon your choice of fillings (turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, roasted vegetables, crumbled cornbread, nuts, dried cranberries, cheese, and/or herbs) onto the center of the patty.
   • Top with another stuffing patty and press the edges together to seal, forming a pocket. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent filling from leaking.
3. Air Fry the Pockets:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
   • Lightly brush the pockets with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
   • Place the pockets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
   • Air fry for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pockets are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Let the pockets cool for a couple of minutes before serving. These are great on their own or with a side of cranberry sauce or gravy for dipping.
