Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ cup finely diced onion, ¼ cup finely diced celery, and ¼ cup finely diced carrots. Cook until the veggies are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground sausage, 4 cups boxed stuffing bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 large beaten egg, and 1 cup chicken broth. Mix using your hands until combined.
Using a 2-inch scoop, scoop the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Dip with gravy or cranberry sauce!
