Put out three small bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs; set them up as a dredging station. Before rolling in breadcrumbs, gently push down to adhere, coat each stuffing ball with flour. Next, dip in beaten eggs.
To get the best results, chill the covered stuffing balls in the fridge for around fifteen to twenty minutes. This prevents them from crumbling apart when cooking and makes them firmer.
Before you cook the meatballs, bring a large saucepan or skillet filled with about 2 inches of oil to a temperature of 350°F, or 175°C, over medium heat. After approximately three or four minutes of frying, add the stuffing balls and continue to cook until they are brown and crisp on both sides. Remove the balls from the mixture using a pierced spoon and set them on paper towels to dry.
Another option for baking: try baking the filling in balls for a lighter option. Place the balls on a prepared baking sheet and preheat the oven to 400°F, or 200°C. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a little golden and bubbly, after gently spraying with cooking spray.
Accompany the warm stuffing balls with cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, or any other dipping sauce of your choice. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top.
