Chop the cooked turkey into small, fine pieces. Cube the stale bread if it&#39;s not pre-cubed, and chop your onions, celery, and garlic.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Vegetables:<\/strong><br \/>Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onions, celery, and garlic, saut\u00e9ing them until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Combine the Base:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubes of stale bread with the saut\u00e9ed vegetables. Add in the finely chopped turkey. Toss until the bread is well-coated with the buttery vegetable mix.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Add the Herbs and Cranberries:<\/strong><br \/>Incorporate the dried cranberries, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the mix. Ensure everything is evenly distributed for balanced flavor in each bite.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bind the Mixture:<\/strong><br \/>Pour the beaten eggs over the mixture, followed by the chicken or turkey broth. Stir the ingredients together until they\u2019re evenly moist. If the mixture is dry, you can add a little more broth, but take care not to make it soggy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Shape the Stuffing Balls:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>   Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Take a generous tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a ball using your hands. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the mixture is used, spacing each ball about an inch apart.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bake to Perfection:<\/strong><br \/>Lightly brush the top of each stuffing ball with olive oil to help them crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Serve:<\/strong><br \/>Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
