Instructions
Creating Turkey Stuffing Balls is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a baking sheet with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.
2. Cook Vegetables: In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrots in a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the dried bread cubes, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour Broth: Add the chicken or turkey broth slowly into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to moisten the bread cubes.
5. Add Vegetables and Turkey: Incorporate the sautéed vegetables and ground turkey into the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
6. Incorporate Eggs: Fold in the beaten eggs to bind the mixture together.
7. Form Balls: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
