Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, shredded cheese, chopped green onions (if using), and the egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Form the Balls:
Using your hands, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the formed balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and heated through.
Serve:
Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These stuffing balls are delicious on their own or served with a side of gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
