Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cranberries, and any additional seasonings you prefer.
Mix in the ground turkey thoroughly with the stuffing mixture.
Take a handful of the mixture and roll it into balls, approximately 1 to 1½ inches in diameter.
Place the formed stuffing balls onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
Bake the stuffing balls for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the stuffing balls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley.

Incorporate finely chopped vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for added texture and nutrition.

For a cheesy twist, mix in grated Parmesan or cheddar.

Drizzle maple syrup over the balls for a touch of sweetness before baking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
