Cranberry & Herb Stuffing Balls

Ingredients

4 cups stuffing mix (or day-old bread, cubed)
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 small onion, finely diced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 egg, beaten
½ cup dried cranberries
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional:
Gravy, for serving
Directions

Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables, dried cranberries, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken/vegetable broth and beaten egg. Mix well until the stuffing mixture is moist but not overly wet.
Form the Balls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Using your hands, form the stuffing mixture into golf-ball-sized balls and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with a drizzle of gravy if desired. Perfect as a side dish for Thanksgiving or holiday meals!
