Delicious bite-sized delights made from ground turkey, tangy cranberries, and savory spices, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup breadcbs (preferably whole grain)
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- as needed olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, breadcbs, chopped onion, diced celery, dried cranberries, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth to the mixture and stir until it's slightly moist but holds its shape when formed.
- Form small balls (about 1-2 inches in diameter) from the mixture and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top of each ball.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the balls cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a coarser texture, use larger breadcbs; for a finer texture, use traditional breadcbs. You can also experiment with different herbs or spices like sage and rosemary for added flavor. Allow the stuffing balls to cool for a few minutes after baking to maintain structure.
