Festive Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls

Advertisement


Ingredients:


1 pound ground turkey
4 cups dried bread cubes (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:


Prepare the Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the dried bread cubes, dried cranberries, celery, and onion.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ground turkey, chicken broth, melted butter, beaten egg, sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Combine and Form Balls:
Add the turkey mixture to the bread cube mixture. Using a spoon or your hands, mix everything together until it is well combined. The mixture should feel slightly moist but not too wet. If it feels too dry, add a little more chicken broth.
Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place each stuffing ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake:
Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. The turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
Serve:
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or appetizer. These stuffing balls are perfect for holiday gatherings, and they pair beautifully with other traditional dishes like mashed potatoes and gravy.
