Step 4: Shape into Balls
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Continue until all the mixture is used. You should get around 12–16 stuffing balls, depending on size.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Place the stuffing balls evenly spaced on your baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These stuffing balls taste amazing dipped in warm turkey gravy or paired with cranberry sauce for a sweet-tangy contrast.
Pro Tips for Success
- Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until crisp.
- Add Veggies: Mix in chopped green beans, corn, or leftover roasted carrots for added nutrition.
- Cheese Lovers: Stuff a small cube of cheese inside each ball for a melty surprise.
- Make Ahead: Form the balls and freeze them raw; bake straight from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes to the cooking time.
