Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

For the Stuffing Balls

  • 1 pound Ground Turkey or ground chicken as an alternative
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries substitute with raisins or apricots if desired
  • 2 cups Stuffing Mix homemade stuffing can elevate flavor
  • 1 large Egg (beaten) use flaxseed or chia seed mix for egg-free option
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth vegetable broth for vegetarian version
  • 1 tablespoon Poultry Seasoning fresh herbs can enhance flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt use regular salt plus fresh garlic for a garlic kick
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) olive oil is a lighter alternative

Instructions

How to Make

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, dried cranberries, stuffing mix, beaten egg, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, and garlic salt. Use your hands to mix until everything is well incorporated and a cohesive mixture forms.
  • Shape Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into golf ball-sized balls, aiming for approximately 20 pieces. This size allows for the perfect one-bite treat!
  • Brush with Butter: Arrange the formed balls on the lined baking sheet and brush them generously with melted butter to achieve that delicious golden-brown crust.
  • Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The stuffing balls are ready when they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  • Serve Warm: Once finished baking, let them cool slightly before serving. They are perfect on their own or can be enjoyed with a side of gravy or cranberry sauce.

Notes

Mix by hand for even flavor distribution, avoid overbaking, and let cool slightly before serving.
