Step-by-Step Instructions for Stuffing Balls Recipe
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with greased aluminum foil.
  2. Melt ¼ cup of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and diced celery, sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in a teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning, and a pinch of ground black pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of chicken broth and 2 large eggs until well blended. Mix in the cubed whole wheat bread and parsley.
  5. Combine the sautéed mixture with the bread and broth mixture, gently mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Shape the mixture into 24 equal balls, each about 2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
