Description

Simple recipe for making individual stuffing balls with turkey and cranberry flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 200g breadcrumbs
  • 100g cooked turkey, finely chopped
  • 50g dried cranberries
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 50ml turkey or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, chopped turkey, dried cranberries, and chopped sage.
  4. Add the cooled onion and garlic mixture to the bowl.
  5. Pour in the beaten egg and the stock. Mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Roll the mixture into small, even balls, about 3-4 cm in diameter. You should get about 12-15 balls.
  8. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

  • You can prepare the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before rolling and baking.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more stock, one tablespoon at a time.
  • For extra flavor, use leftover roast turkey meat.
