Report

The holiday season wouldn't be the same without a large helping of stuffing! And these flavorful Stuffing Balls taste like a cozy, festive hug! Adding these to the table will be a hit, whether it's a Thanksgiving feast or a Christmas gathering! They're crispy on the outside and oh-so-tender on the inside, and your house will smell like the holiday season.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 430ºF/220ºC.
Remove the crusts from the bread and then turn the slices into fresh breadcrumbs using a food processor. (see note 5)3 slices white bread
Peel the onion, then grate it over a large bowl to ensure any juice is collected. Add the fresh breadcrumbs, chicken broth, sage, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom (if using).1 onion2 tablespoons chicken broth2 teaspoons dried sage½ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon black pepperpinch ground nutmegpinch ground cardamom
Stir together and let it sit for 5 minutes until the bread has absorbed all the liquid.

Oil a baking tray. neutral oil
Use a 1-tablespoon measure to spoon out equal-sized portions of the meat and place them on a chopping board. Once you have used all the meat mixture, lightly oil your hands and roll the portions into balls, placing them on the prepared tray. You might need to re-oil your hands as you go.
Spay the tops of the stuffing balls with spray oil and bake for 20 minutes until crispy and golden. oil spray

Notes

I use a regular brown onion, but you can use white, yellow, or red onion.
Feel free to substitute with vegetable broth or turkey broth.
You only need a pinch of ground nutmeg and ground cardamom. If you don't have one or both, don't worry; you can leave them out.
You can usually find cylinders of sausage meat in the fresh meat section near sausage links or ground/minced meat. You can squeeze the meat from some breakfast sausage links if you struggle to find it.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the bread by hand.
