Cranberry and caramelized onion stuffing balls
Background
These cranberry and caramelized onion stuffing balls go well with roast turkey, duck, goose or game. So it’s a perfect side dish on a Christmas table. You can prepare the meatballs ahead and bake them while the bird is resting. Alternatively, you could make them well ahead and refrigerate (for up to 3 days) or freeze them, then just warm them up in the oven before serving. Serve any leftover in flatbread with coleslaw or a crispy salad and the leftover gravy!
