Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a small pan, add the onion and cook until soft, about 8 mins. Leave to cool.

  • step 2

    Mix the onion with the remaining ingredients, apart from the oil – the best way to do this is with your hands. Roll the stuffing mixture into 24 walnut-sized balls and put on a baking tray. You can make these and chill for up to 2 days in advance, or freeze for up to 2 months.

  • step 3

    When the turkey comes out of the oven, turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Drizzle the stuffing with oil and cook on a middle shelf for 30 mins. Swap to the top shelf for the final 10 mins if they need browning.

Yes this stuffing is quite fruity, but it does work with the Christmas turkey, with clementine and bay butter. Next time I will only use half the amount of zest.

Mixed view on this one - although it only has the zest of 1 orange in it, the orange was overpowering - if I made again I would probably just use the lemon. I've got most of the mix in the freezer ready for Christmas day - not quite sure what to do to temper the flavour of the orage - any…
