Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 cup Stuffing mix (unprepared, dry)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup Gravy (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 tsp Dried sage
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, dry stuffing mix, egg, chicken broth, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown beautifully during baking.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and achieve an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the meatballs are baking, if desired, gently heat the cranberry sauce and/or gravy for serving.
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the turkey and stuffing meatballs warm, with cranberry sauce and gravy on the side for dipping or drizzling.
