  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups stale bread, cubed
– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped (or dried cranberries)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried sage
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 large egg
– 1/3 cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Cooking spray for baking sheet


Instructions

Creating Savory-Sweet Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.

2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and chicken broth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the bread absorbs the liquid.

3. Cook Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and celery. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Mix Turkey and Herbs: In the bowl with the soaked bread, add ground turkey, chopped cranberries, sautéed vegetables, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

5. Add Egg: Crack the egg into the mixture and blend until everything is combined thoroughly.

6. Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may want to turn them halfway through cooking for even browning.

8. Cool: Once out of the oven, let the stuffing balls cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

By following these easy steps, you’ll create the most flavorful Savory-Sweet Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls, perfect for any occasion!
