Notes
[‘If the mixture feels too dry, add more broth one tablespoon at a time.’, ‘Don’t overmix the ingredients to avoid dense stuffing balls.’, ‘Test one stuffing ball before baking the entire batch to adjust seasoning if needed.’, ‘For a golden, crispy exterior, don’t skip brushing the tops with melted butter.’]
