Dried sage, 1/2 tsp

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to bake, or prepare a skillet for browning.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, prepared stuffing, onion, garlic, egg, milk, parsley, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix just until ingredients come together; do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter using a small scoop or your hands, and place on a parchment-lined sheet if baking.
