Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 cup whole grain stuffing mix

1 cup chicken broth

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup carrots, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried sage

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

      Cook Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and sage. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

        Mix Stuffing: In a large bowl, combine the cooked turkey mixture with the whole grain stuffing mix. Pour in the chicken broth and mix until everything is well combined. If desired, fold in dried cranberries for a sweet touch.

          Prepare for Baking: Transfer the turkey and stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly, and then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

            Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your gourmet twist on turkey and stuffing!
