Method

  • step 1

    Fry onions in the butter. Stir in nuts; fry until golden. Remove from the heat, add apricots, breadcrumbs, parsley and lemon zest. Mix in the egg and season. Use half to stuff the neck end of the turkey; shape the rest into balls.

  • step 2

    Put the balls in a buttered baking dish, then drizzle with oil. Bake for 30 mins until golden, or roast them around the turkey.

Make this every year! Quick, easy and really tasty. Usually prepare on Christmas eve and store overnight coveredin the fridge in a buttered baking dish. Then just take out and straight into oven when needed on Christmas day. Can't imagine Christmas without it!

question

It’s say these can be frozen. Is from cooked or uncooked? Thanks

Hi, thanks for your question. Freeze at the end of STEP 1 before baking. Defrost in the fridge overnight then bake as per STEP 2 of the recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Fabulous recipe, added cashews, bacon and an extra egg as previous comments, worked a treat. Went down a storm cold, too.
