Ingredients
– 1 pound ground turkey
– 2 cups stale bread, cubed
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
– 1 small onion, finely diced
– 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, sautéed vegetables, cubed bread, chopped cranberries, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Add Egg and Broth: Pour in the beaten egg and chicken broth. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.
5. Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Drizzle with Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the balls to help them crisp up while baking.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Check Doneness: To ensure they are cooked, you can cut one open; it should be moist and cooked through but not dry.
9. Let Rest: Once baked, allow the stuffing balls to rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
With these easy steps, you’ll achieve delectable Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls that will impress everyone!
