- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, stuffing mix, dried cranberries, onion, celery, parsley, sage, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add Egg and Broth: Add the beaten egg and chicken broth, mixing until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be moist but firm enough to hold its shape.
- Form the Balls: Form the mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or side dish!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on the consistency of the mixture. It should hold together without being too wet.
- For extra flavor, add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture before baking.
