Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by clearing your workspace and gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cooked cranberries, sage, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and melted butter until fully blended.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring gently until well combined. Adjust with more broth if too dry.
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the mixture and taste to adjust seasoning as necessary.
  6. Shape the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through.
  8. Let the stuffing balls cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
