- 1/2 cup cooked cranberries or chopped dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

- 1/3–1/2 cup chicken broth (as needed)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, ground turkey, cranberries, onion, celery, and parsley.
- Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Stir in the beaten egg and broth, adding more broth as needed until the mixture holds together.

- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use leftover turkey and stuffing to reduce prep time.
- Chop and soak dried cranberries for softer texture.
- To boost flavor, sauté onion and celery before mixing.
- Bake and broil briefly for a crispier crust.
- Freeze raw or cooked balls and bake directly from frozen when needed.
