- Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a saucepan. Add the diced onion and put the lid on. Cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not brown.
- When the onions are ready, tip into a bowl and add the sausage meat, herbs, salt and pepper and stir thoroughly.

Notes
(1) To cook this all together in an oven dish, simply follow the recipe above, but instead of shaping into balls and placing on an oven tray, lightly grease a deep sided oven dish, roughly 15 x 24cm (6 x 10inches) and put all the mixture into the dish, squash down lightly and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until brown on the top and cooked all the way through.
(2) To cook this stuffed into a turkey, chicken or duck, prepare the stuffing as above, but instead of shaping into balls, stuff into the neck cavity of a turkey or the main cavity of a chicken or duck and cook according to your usual stuffed turkey or chicken recipe – ensuring the stuffing is cooked and piping hot all the way through.
