Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls!

Cranberry Turkey Stuffing Balls

Ingredients (makes ~18–20 balls)

• 2 cups cooked turkey, finely chopped or shredded

• 2 cups prepared stuffing (cooled)

• ½ cup dried cranberries (chopped if large)

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil

• 1–2 tbsp chicken broth (if mixture feels dry)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional add-ins

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme

• ¼ tsp poultry seasoning

• Pinch of garlic powder

How to make them

1. Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Mix everything
   In a bowl, combine turkey, stuffing, cranberries, cheese, egg, butter, and seasonings.
   Mixture should hold together when rolled—add broth if needed.

3. Roll & bake
   Roll into golf-ball-sized portions and place on the tray.
   Bake 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.

Dipping sauces (highly encouraged)

• Warm gravy (classic)

• Cranberry sauce + Dijon swirl

• Garlic aioli

• Honey mustard

• Sage butter sauce (very fancy, very worth it)

Make them extra good

• Air fryer: 180°C / 350°F for 12–15 minutes

• Pan-fry finish: bake first, then crisp in butter

• Cheese pull: tuck a mozzarella cube inside each ball
