Old fashioned stuffing ball recipes?

i'm hoping to make something similar to what my husbands grandmother used to make when she was alive. i know it won't come close but he misses them so i'd like to try. it should not have any meat or corn in it. i know the only veggies were celerly and onions and that she chopped them up incredibly fine. does anyone know of any old recipes for this?Old fashioned stuffing ball recipes?
My grandmother made these stuffing balls makes about 20





1 c butter


2 c chopped onion


1 c chopped celery


陆 c chopped parsley


1 T poultry seasoning or sage


1 t salt


1 t pepper


12 cups (app. 1 lb) dried bread cubes


1 c milk


2 eggs, slightly beaten


陆 c turkey or chicken broth





Preheat oven to 375掳. Saute onions and celery in butter until tender, about 10 min. Stir in parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bread cubes, mix well. Combine milk and eggs. Stir into stuffing mixture. Shape stuffing into balls about 1陆 inches in diameter. Place in well buttered 13 x 9'; baking pan. Pour broth over balls; bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. (you can refrigerate up to 6 hours in advance, add about 10 minutes cooking time)Old fashioned stuffing ball recipes?
That sounds similar to our stuffing recipe, except we didn't make it into balls. (and we call it dressing!)





Start with drying a loaf of bread 2 days before. Cut into cubes, spread on cookie sheet, place in warm spot with good air circulation. Or cheat like I do and just dry it in the oven on low.





Fry 1 onion (chopped fine) in 1/4c oil and 1/4c butter over medium heat. (You can add celery too if you like). When browned, turn to low and add bread cubes and brown (approx 10 min)





In mixing bowl beat 3 eggs, 4c milk or broth (or both), 1t salt, 1/4t pepper, and 1.5t sage. Add to bread mix and stir a bit. Simmer for 10 minutes on low. Cool before stuffing turkey. (or making into balls)
I am planning on making stuffing balls this year but I am going to use cold Stove Top turkey stuffing, roll into golf ball sized rounds, dip in egg, dip in crumbs and fry in a skillet with oil.





You might find a premade store stuffing that fits the bill.
