Notes

I used raw ground turkey, but ground chicken also works well.
To make it with cooked chopped turkey, finely chop leftover turkey, add an extra ¼ cup hot water to the stuffing before adding the turkey. Form the meatballs and bake for 12 minutes and it would work fine.
If you don’t care for cranberry sauce, use gravy for serving instead.
I used a turkey stuffing mix but use any flavor you like.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
May be frozen, in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
