Leftover Turkey Stuffing Balls Directions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Gather all your ingredients. Shred the turkey into small pieces and ensure the stuffing is slightly moist but not too wet.
-
Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover turkey stuffing with the shredded turkey. Add the chopped onions, celery, and parsley. If using, stir in the grated low-fat cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
-
Add Seasonings:
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, dried sage, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
-
Bind the Mixture:
- Crack the egg into the bowl and mix thoroughly. The egg acts as a binder.
-
Form the Stuffing Balls:
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly coated with cooking spray.
-
Bake the Stuffing Balls:
- Spray the tops of the stuffing balls lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Turn them halfway through baking for even cooking.
