Introduction

These delicious Turkey Stuffing Balls are a perfect addition to any festive feast. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they combine savory turkey and classic stuffing flavors in a convenient bite-sized treat.

The image shows six round, golden-brown fried balls with a slightly crispy texture, placed on a white plate. The balls have a speckled, crunchy outside and look soft inside, with small green parsley bits sprinkled on top for color. To the side on the same plate, there is a small white bowl filled with light brown dipping sauce. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 package stuffing mix
1 cup chicken or turkey broth
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, sautéed vegetables, stuffing mix, and broth. Add the egg, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into golf ball-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6: Let the stuffing balls cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture.
Try mixing in dried cranberries or chopped nuts for a festive touch.
Use turkey broth for a richer taste, but chicken broth works well too.
If mixture feels too wet, add a bit more stuffing mix to help bind the balls.

Storage

Store leftover stuffing balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to keep them crispy. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
