- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, prepared stuffing, cranberry sauce, onion, celery, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- If you find the mixture is too loose, add the beaten egg to help bind it together.
- Form the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- Roll each ball in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Cooking
- Place the balls on a lined baking sheet, giving them enough space to cook evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and deliciously crisp.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delightful bites!
Notes
These stuffing balls are versatile as appetizers or side dishes. Drizzle extra cranberry sauce on top or provide a dipping sauce. Consider adding nuts for crunch or spices for extra flavor. Store prepared balls in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.
