crispy tender stuffing balls

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Stuffing Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine stuffing, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Gradually add broth until the mixture holds together but isn’t too wet.
  2. Form the Balls:
    • Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1 ½–2 inch balls.
    • Roll each ball in breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.
  3. Cook the Balls:Frying Method:
    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Fry the balls 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
    • Drain on paper towels.
    Baking Method (Healthier):
    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Place balls on a greased baking sheet and spray lightly with oil.
    • Bake 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve warm with gravy, cranberry sauce, or your favorite dip.

💡 Tips

  • Use slightly dry stuffing for best results — too wet and the balls won’t hold.
  • Mix in diced cooked onion or celery for extra flavor.
  • Freeze unbaked balls for later — bake or fry straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
  • You can also add cooked sausage to the stuffing mixture for a heartier version.
