Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups dry stuffing mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This ensures the stuffing balls don’t stick to the pan.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the dry stuffing mix with chicken broth and melted butter until moistened. This ensures even moisture distribution.
- Add Eggs and Vegetables: Add the beaten eggs, chopped onion, celery, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. This ensures all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Form Balls: Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized portions. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball. This allows for even cooking.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. This ensures the stuffing balls are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This adds a fresh touch.
Notes
- Use a pre-made stuffing mix for ease.
- Ensure even moisture distribution in the mixture.
- Shape balls uniformly for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- Serve with gravy or cranberry sauce.
