Ingredients
Scale
Let’s dive into the ingredients that will bring these Turkey Stuffing Balls to life. Remember, cooking at home is all about flexibility, so feel free to tweak based on what you have on hand or prefer.
- 2 cups of cooked turkey, finely chopped
- 3 cups of day-old bread, cubed
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of diced celery
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon of dried sage
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
If you don’t have cooked turkey on hand, you can substitute with chicken or even go vegetarian by using mushrooms. The key is to make it work for your family and your taste buds.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Turkey Stuffing Balls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine your cubed bread, chopped turkey, onion, celery, and parsley.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, melted butter, and beaten eggs.
- Pour the liquid mixture over your bread and turkey mixture, and gently stir to combine.
- Add the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the flavors.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Pro tip from my kitchen to yours: if the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more bread. If it’s too dry, a splash more broth will do the trick.
