- Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 cups prepared stuffing (preferably with herbs)
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup carrot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Gravy or cranberry sauce (for serving, optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, prepared stuffing, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the stuffing balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the turkey stuffing balls to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Brown the balls on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
- Once browned, transfer the turkey stuffing balls to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and an internal thermometer reads 165°F (75°C).
- Serve the turkey stuffing balls hot, with gravy or cranberry sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
