Delicious Turkey Soup With Deep Fried Stuffing Balls Food

STUFFING BALLS

Steps:

• Open the loaves of bread and allow the bread to get stale for a day.
• Tear the bread into 1-1/2" pieces including the crusts.
• Beat the eggs with the milk and water; sparingly, drizzle this mixture over the bread and mix it in just to moisten.
• Saute the celery, onions, and green pepper in the butter until translucent. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the warm celery and butter mixture to the bread.
• Add the parsley and sprinkle in a little rubbed sage.
• Cover lightly with poultry seasoning.
• Gently toss with your hands.
• Gently push the stuffing mixture into the corner of your mixing pan and allow to sit for 30 minutes to absorb the liquid in the bread.
• Form the stuffing into small balls similar to a baseball.
• You may freeze the balls at this point by arranging on a baking sheet and flash freezing.
• When frozen, place stuffing balls in the bread bag wrappers.
• When ready to bake, place balls in a 9 x 13 inch pan with about 1/4" hot broth in the bottom of the pan.
• You can bake them frozen or defrosted, adjust your time accordingly.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, basting a few times until browned.

DEEP-FRIED STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl until smooth. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a third shallow bowl.
• Scoop stuffing, about 2 tablespoons per serving, and roll into a ball using your hands, forming about 12 balls. Dredge each ball through the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Transfer each ball to the egg mixture and evenly coat. Roll each ball in the bread crumbs mixture until evenly coated. Set each stuffing ball on a plate and allow to sit for the coating to stick to the stuffing.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Carefully lower 4 to 5 stuffing balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining stuffing balls.
