  • Author: Clara Walker

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked turkey, chopped
– 1 cup stuffing mix (bread or cornbread)
– ½ cup fresh or dried cranberries, chopped
– 1 large egg
– ½ cup onion, finely chopped
– ½ cup celery, finely chopped

Instructions

Making Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls is simple! Follow these instructions to create your delicious dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Cook Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped turkey, stuffing mix, chopped cranberries, cooked onions, and celery.
4. Add Seasoning: Add in the egg, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and parsley. If you are using cheese, add it at this stage too.
5. Mix Together: Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until well-combined, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
6. Form Balls: Take small amounts of the mixture and shape them into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the lined baking sheet.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, let the stuffing balls cool for a few minutes before serving.
