Stuffing Balls Recipe

These stuffing balls are a must-make recipe for Thanksgiving, passed down from my grandmother. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re a delicious alternative to traditional stuffing and perfect for any holiday or weeknight meal.

Ingredients

• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon ground sage
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups low-carb bread, toasted and chopped
• 6 cups cornbread stuffing
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 1 can chicken broth (divided)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onions for about 10 minutes.
3. Add celery, then stir in parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped toasted low-carb bread and cornbread stuffing. Mix well.
5. Add the beaten egg and 3/4 cup of the chicken broth. Stir to moisten.
6. Fold in the sautéed onion and celery mixture.
7. Form the mixture into small balls using your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F.
9. Carefully pour the remaining broth over the balls and return to oven for another 15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
