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