Turkey & Stuffing Benedict

Makes 1

I love traditional Eggs Benedict, but this made such a hit in our house it'll now be a regular breakfast item.

Ingredients

• 1/3-1/2 cup stuffing (cooked)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Few slices cooked turkey
• One egg
• Turkey gravy

Directions

1. Shape stuffing into a 1/2 thick patty - about the size and shape of an English muffin - compact it well
2. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook patty until crispy on both sides - about 2 minutes a side - just be gentle cuz it'll try to break apart on you
3. While it cooks, poach the egg and heat the turkey and gravy
4. Plate with stuffing patty on the bottom, the turkey, the poached egg and finally gravy over the top
