Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/gas mark 5. Line two medium lipped baking sheets with some baking paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place your prepared veggies onto one of the baking sheets. Toss together with the oil and seasonings. Spread out in a single layer. Pop into the preheated oven. (These will roast for approximately 15 minutes before you add the meatballs.)
  • Mix the stuffing mix in a bowl with the milk. Leave to stand for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the turkey, egg, grated onion, parsley, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Mix together gently until evenly combined.
  • Pour the remaining oil onto the remaining baking sheet.
  • Shape the turkey mixture into 18 evenly sized balls. (The mixture will be loose.) Roll them into the oil to coat on the baking sheet and then place evenly spaced apart.
  • Roast for a further 30 to 35 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown and the veggies are tender and caramelized at the edges. The turkey meatballs should register 165°F/74°C inside.
  • Serve hot with cranberry sauce and gravy if desired.

Notes

Serve with cranberry sauce and gravy for a complete meal.
