Ingredients

  • small knob of butter
  • 1 red onion , finely chopped
  • 450g sausagemeat (or sausages removed from their skins)
  • 175g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • zest 1 lemon
  • zest 1 orange
  • 100g dried sour cherries (or dried cranberries)
  • 100g shelled pistachios , roughly chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • small bunch parsley , chopped
  • drizzle olive oil

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small pan, add the onion and cook until soft, about 8 mins. Leave to cool.
  • Mix the onion with the remaining ingredients, apart from the oil – the best way to do this is with your hands. Roll the stuffing mixture into 24 walnut-sized balls and put on a baking tray. You can make these and chill for up to 2 days in advance, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • When the turkey comes out of the oven, turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Drizzle the stuffing with oil and cook on a middle shelf for 30 mins. Swap to the top shelf for the final 10 mins if they need browning.
