I'v never had stuffing balls with meat in them before. I just make them out of the usual turkey stuffing i.e. fry chopped onion, garlic and giblets then add herbs (sage preferably) and breadcrumbs with a beaten egg to bind. Chris, yours sound lovely but an albondigas meal in themselves!

yup! point taken tho' i have used for "stuffing" at xmas.
might have got a bit carried away on the carnivore front.
substitute meat in my recipe for giblets and mince that instead !!
yum xmas yum.
