  2. Take small portions and shape them into 1-inch balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together.
  3. Roll each formed ball in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Heat approximately half an inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the coated turkey stuffing balls in the hot oil, cooking for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the cooked turkey stuffing balls onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.
