Cranberry & Turkey Stuffing Balls 🦃🍇
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, dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Combine and Form Balls:
Add the turkey mixture to the bread cube mixture and mix until well combined. The mixture should be slightly moist but not overly wet. If it’s too dry, add a bit more chicken broth.
Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 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.
Serve:
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
