Equipment

  • large skillet
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 0.75 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 0.5 cup diced celery
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 cups cubed whole wheat or white bread
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease the foil.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk chicken broth and eggs together in a large bowl. Fold in bread cubes and parsley.
  • Add onion mixture to bread cubes; mix until combined.
  • Use your hands to shape mixture into 24 (2-inch) balls; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use stale or lightly toasted bread cubes — they absorb flavor best. Assemble and refrigerate unbaked stuffing balls up to 24 hours in advance. Bring to room temperature before baking.
