Holiday Stuffing Balls

Crispy Stuffing Balls

I absolutely love special occasions and winter season food, but at the same time, it gets me worried with all the unfriendly IBS ingredients.

Fortunately for me, I tend to prepare the majority of the food that is served at my house, and for this reason, I make it very IBS-friendly.

This crispy stuffing balls recipe is not only tasty, but it presents very well, around your chicken or turkey, and you can also serve it as a side dish. It tastes very good with gravy on top.
