Ingredients
- Ground Turkey
- Stuffing Mix
- Broth (Chicken or Turkey)
- Onion
- Celery
- Egg
- Herbs (Sage, Thyme, Parsley)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sautéed vegetables, stuffing mix, and broth. Add the egg, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, let the Turkey Stuffing Balls cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
