Description
These savory stuffing balls are a delicious twist on traditional stuffing, perfect as a side dish for Thanksgiving or any holiday meal! They’re easy to serve, flavorful, and make for great leftovers.
Ingredients
- 4 cups dry stuffing mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup celery, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2️⃣ Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the dry stuffing mix, then pour in the chicken broth and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well moistened.
3️⃣ Add seasonings and vegetables: Mix in the beaten eggs, finely chopped onion, celery, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
4️⃣ Form stuffing balls: Scoop and shape the mixture into golf ball-sized portions. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for even baking.
5️⃣ Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
6️⃣ Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color, then serve warm.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare and shape the stuffing balls a day ahead, then refrigerate. Simply bake them fresh on the day of serving.
- Additions: For extra flavor, try adding finely chopped apples, sausage, or cranberries to the mixture.
- Leftovers: Store leftover stuffing balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
