Alyn Williams' stuffing ball recipe is a novel and simple way to serve stuffing — you can even serve them as a warm canapé with a bowl of cranberry sauce. Alyn serves these balls alongside his Christmas turkey recipe, but they would work equally well with another roast meat of your choice.
Ingredients
Stuffing
- 200g of turkey mince
- 200g of sausage meat
- 1 onion , finely diced
- 10 sage leaves , finely chopped

To make the stuffing, place a saucepan on a medium heat. Once hot, add a dash of oil and the diced onions and chopped sage. Sweat for 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, without any colour

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mix to cool. Combine the turkey mince and sausage meat in a bowl with the sage and onion mix, season with salt and stir thoroughly to combine. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls, place on a tray and refrigerate to help them set
