Quick Summary: These Thanksgiving Stuffing Drop Biscuits are a quick, 20-minute holiday side dish made with biscuit mix, (like Bisquick) dry stuffing mix, poultry seasoning, chicken stock, and diced celery and onions. They require no yeast, rolling, or kneading. These drop biscuits bake at 450°F in just 10 minutes, for a savory, fluffy biscuit that tastes just like traditional Thanksgiving stuffing.

Why make a sandwich with stuffing on it, when you can make a sandwich with it! Yes, I'm coming atcha with Thanksgiving drop biscuits that has the best side dish of the holiday built right into it. And with only 6 ingredients and less than 20 minutes, you can skip right over the turkey and dive straight into pillow carb heaven with a basket of these.

I've never been one for rising and kneading, when I could be eating 🙂

Why you'll love these stuffing biscuits

• Quick and easy. They take just 6 ingredients and 20 minutes to make....and only 2 minutes to inhale.
• Full of Thanksgiving flavor. Nothing like having stuffing in handheld form. Love making leftover turkey sandwiches on these too!
• Make ahead-friendly. Can be made up to 2 days in advance, and reheated in a few minutes in the oven when ready to serve.

Ingredients

• Dry biscuit mix. I like good ol' Bisquick, especially the Heart Smart variety.
• Stuffing mix. Especially the one that your family has used for 20 years. Or Stovetop is fine.
• Poultry seasoning. Gives these that extra turkey day flavor.
• Chopped celery. Adds a bit of crunch and freshness to these.
• Chopped onion. Another flavor and texture enhancer. I've tried both red onion and yellow onion, and both work just fine.
• Dried cranberries. An optional ingredient for a bit of sweetness and texture. Can also use raisins or chopped dried figs.
• Chicken stock. For moisture and flavor. Can swap out for vegetable stock to make these vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

How to make these stuffing biscuits

Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, or spraying with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, add 3 cups of dry biscuit mix (I like Heart-Healthy Bisquick), 1 cup of stuffing mix, ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning, ¼ cup chopped celery (about 1 large stalk), ¼ cup chopped onion (red or yellow onion work), and ¼ cup dried cranberries if using until mixed. Stir in 1 cup of chicken stock just until dough starts to form.

Drop on prepared baking sheet by the spoonful to form 12 biscuits. Bake in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Expert tips from a dietitian:

• Make it plant-based. Swap out the chicken stock for vegetable stock for a plant-based option. Just make sure your biscuit mix and stuffing mixes are dairy-free and egg-free if wanting to make these vegan.
• Don't over-mix. Once you add the stock, stir the dough until it just comes together. Over-mixing can make these tough and dense.
