Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey, finely chopped
- 4 cups prepared stuffing (boxed or homemade)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup chicken or turkey broth
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For Baking
- Cooking spray or olive oil, for baking
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the finely chopped cooked turkey, prepared stuffing, eggs, broth, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley until thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together when shaped.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized portions and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Oil: Lightly spray or brush the tops of the stuffing balls with cooking spray or olive oil to help them brown beautifully during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the balls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the stuffing balls to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious with gravy or cranberry sauce as a dip.
