Turkey & Stuffing Waffle Sandwiches (Epcot-Inspired)
Inspired by a festive favorite from Epcot’s seasonal kitchens, these golden stuffing waffles are the perfect vessel for sliced turkey, warm gravy, and tangy cranberry sauce. A nostalgic bite of holiday comfort packed into a handheld Disney-style sandwich.
Servings: 2 waffle sandwiches
Cost: $8–12
Equipment
- Waffle iron
- Hand mixer
- Large mixing bowl
- Spoon or scoop
Ingredients
Stuffing Waffle Batter
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup canola or avocado oil
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 3 cups prepared stuffing We recommend Stove Top Savory Herbs, prepared as directed.
Sandwich Fillings
- 2 servings sliced turkey warm; may substitute chicken
- 2 servings cranberry sauce We recommend the Bourbon Cranberry Sauce from Bon Appetit.
- 2 servings gravy prepared from turkey drippings or a packaged mix
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and salt.
- Add prepared stuffing one cup at a time, using a hand mixer to fully incorporate. Mix for 2–3 minutes until thick and cohesive.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while you preheat your waffle iron.
- Grease the waffle iron. Spoon batter onto the hot surface, spreading to ensure full coverage with no gaps.
- Cook until golden brown and crisp. Thinner waffle irons work best, but thicker waffles are great too (just allow more cook time).
- Assemble the sandwich: layer one waffle with warm turkey, spoon on hot gravy, and finish with a generous dollop of cranberry sauce. Top with a second waffle to complete the sandwich.
- Serve immediately. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.

Notes
For extra-crispy waffles, let them cool slightly on a wire rack before assembling. Leftover stuffing works great here — just warm it slightly before mixing. This recipe is also fantastic with chicken, and makes a brilliant post-holiday brunch option. Serve with extra gravy on the side for dipping!
