Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded turkey, prepared stuffing, and cranberries. Fold gently to distribute ingredients without overmixing.
3. Add the beaten egg, melted butter, and broth. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Stir until the mixture holds together.
4. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into 1½-inch balls. Roll gently between your palms for even shaping and place on the prepared tray about 1 inch apart.
5. Optional: brush the tops of each ball with melted butter or broth for a golden, crisp exterior.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the balls are firm, golden, and heated through.
7. Let the stuffing balls rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
