Cranberry Parmesan Stuffing Balls Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing, shredded turkey, Parmesan cheese, dried cranberries, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if needed). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- If the mixture is too wet, add panko breadcrumbs to achieve a firmer consistency.
- Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into 1½-inch balls.
- Place the stuffing balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each ball for even cooking.
- Bake the stuffing balls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- For the optional cranberry dipping sauce: While the stuffing balls are baking, whisk together the cranberry sauce, orange juice, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and warm.
- Serve the Cranberry Parmesan Stuffing Balls warm, with the cranberry dipping sauce on the side for a sweet and tangy flavor boost.
