Turkey and Stuffing Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 box stuffing mix
• 1 cup hot water
• 19 oz. ground turkey
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp butter

Directions

1. Heat your oven to 400ºF. Pour the dry stuffing mix into a large bowl, add the hot water, and stir until the bottom is no longer puddly. Set it aside for 5 minutes so the pieces can soften more. You’re using less water than the package calls for, because the stuffing still needs to take in moisture from the turkey and egg.
2. Drop the beaten egg and ground turkey into the softened stuffing. Use your hands to mix everything until it looks evenly combined. Shape the mixture into 20 meatballs, making them a little bigger than ping pong balls, about 3 Tbsp apiece.
3. Lay parchment on a baking sheet, then arrange the meatballs on it. Bake them in the hot oven for 20 minutes.
4. Set a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 Tbsp butter. Add half of the baked meatballs and cook them in the butter until most sides are browned, about 5 minutes. Move the browned meatballs to a serving dish, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and do the same with the rest of the meatballs.
5. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, or with gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.
