Combine all the vegetables and herbs in a stockpot and sweat in a little olive oil. Add the bread and the stock and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Transfer to a large bowl.

I watched that particular episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. I'm going to try these out tonight. Got a mess of turkey and stuffing. A little mash potatoes and a mess of gravy. I will serve them with the leftover sweet potatoes and squash I have from Thanksgiving dinner. Which by the way I did Emeril's Herb brined turkey recipe. That is the turkey my husband an son like. It's a new twist on Thanksgiving dinner. Something to do with all them leftovers. I got so much left. I'm going to attempt to freeze some of these turkey balls before they are deep fried. Then see how they thaw out to be fried for future meals. As I see it. I got to use it or freeze my leftovers by Monday. Or I have to toss them. There are time limits by Serv Safe rules on saving leftovers in the fridge.
