Cooked leftovers: Store cooled stuffing balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 8–12 minutes or microwave briefly; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
Reheating tips: To keep them moist, reheat covered with foil or add a teaspoon of broth to the container before warming. For crisp exterior, reheat uncovered in the oven for a few minutes.
Why This Recipe Works
The combination of breadcrumbs and a single egg provides enough binder to hold the turkey together without making the texture gummy. Sautéing the aromatics first concentrates flavor and removes excess moisture that would weigh down the balls. Chilling the mixture firms fats and proteins, preventing collapse during cooking and promoting a tidy, golden crust. Cranberries add brightness and moisture contrast that keeps each bite interesting.

Expert Tips
Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizing and even cooking.
For more savory depth, replace 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs with crushed buttery stuffing mix or toasted walnuts for texture.
If you prefer stronger herb flavor, mix finely chopped fresh sage and thyme rather than dried.
To ensure food safety and best texture, aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when cooked.
