Instructions
Let’s dive into the cooking process! I promise it’s straightforward and rewarding. Gather your ingredients, and let’s get started on these delicious Turkey Stuffing Balls.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, stuffing mix, chicken broth, onion, celery, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined. The egg acts as a binder, so don’t skip this step!
- Using your hands, form the mixture into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get around 20-24 balls, depending on the size.
- Place the formed balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the inside is heated through. You want them crispy on the outside but tender on the inside!
- Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
