Thanksgiving Stuffing Balls

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dried bread cubes or stuffing mix
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 4–5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
  • Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetables and melted butter over the bread.
  • Add the poultry seasoning, sage, salt, pepper, parsley, and any optional add-ins you like.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and gently stir until evenly moistened.
  • Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into golf-ball-size balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 22–25 minutes, until the outsides are golden and slightly crisp while the centers stay soft.
  • Serve warm as a festive Thanksgiving side dish or party appetizer.
