Air Fryer Stuffing Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix in cooked onion and celery. Slowly pour egg into the bowl with one hand while mixing with the other to ensure that the mixture is evenly coated. Repeat with chicken broth and mix everything until well combined. Divide stuffing mixture into 8 equal portions, roll into balls, and place on a plate. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Remove stuffing balls from refrigerator and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place stuffing balls into the air fryer, sprayed side down, without touching one another. Spray the other side lightly.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes, turn, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 275 degrees F. Add the bread cubes to the air-fryer basket (it's okay if they're not in a single layer). Air-fry until completely dry and lightly golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the celery, garlic, shallot, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and cook until warmed through, about 1 minutes, using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then add the bread cubes and warm sausage mixture. Toss until the bread is nicely saturated and the mixture is well combined.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F and butter a 6-by-3-inch round baking dish with butter. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the air-fryer basket, then air-fry until the stuffing is heated through and starting to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue to cook until the top is crisp and deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
