Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded or diced turkey
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup prepared stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (adjust as necessary)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded turkey, breadcrumbs, stuffing mix, chopped cranberries, diced celery, diced onion, parsley, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Incorporate the beaten egg and chicken broth, mixing until the ingredients are cohesive; add more chicken broth if the mixture is too crumbly.
- Shape the mixture into small balls, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and arrange them on the lined baking sheet.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tops of the turkey bites.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and are thoroughly heated.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- You can swap out dried cranberries for chopped apples or raisins for new flavor combinations.
