Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Mix It All Together: In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, cranberry sauce, and beaten eggs. If using Parmesan cheese, add it in for an extra burst of flavor. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when squeezed—if it’s too dry, add a little more cranberry sauce or a splash of chicken broth.
- Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Bake Until Golden: Lightly spray the tops of the stuffing balls with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and heated through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the stuffing balls cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own but can be paired with gravy, extra cranberry sauce, or even a creamy dip for an extra treat.
