APPLE AND ONION STUFFING



Apple and Onion Stuffing image

A Thanksgiving Tradition in the home of Rachael Ray. **NOTE**I tried Rachael Ray's stuffing on Thanksgiving of 2006....It was okay, but not one I would make again. My tastes do not favor fruit in the mix. Maybe if I added my standard sausage mix to the recipe it would have survived the test and made a permanent place in my recipe files.

ONION AND APPLE STUFFING



Onion and Apple Stuffing image

I took this to my boyfriend's work Thanksgiving supper the first year he worked there. Now I get requests for this stuffing every year. I grew up with very different Thanksgiving stuffing so this is great for when I'm in the mood for something a little more traditional but still a little unique.

Provided by madsthegr8

Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
½ cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
1 medium red onion, diced
4 stalks celery with leaves, diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix
3 cups water, divided
1 (6 ounce) box turkey stuffing mix
2 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Put butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted, add apples, onion, celery, and garlic; let sweat for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cornbread stuffing mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and fluff with a fork. Repeat with turkey stuffing mix, remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Combine softened apple-vegetable mixture and both stuffings in a large bowl; stir until everything is mixed together. Add 2 cups broth and stir again; it needs to be wet but not soupy. Add more broth (up to 1 cup) if needed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is slightly crunchy and the stuffing looks a lot drier than it did going into the oven, about 35 minutes. If more time is needed, bake in 10-minute increments.

APPLE BACON THANKSGIVING DRESSING (OR STUFFING) F



Apple Bacon Thanksgiving Dressing (Or Stuffing) F image

This stuffing has a nice background note of orange and apples. You won't taste it in every bite, but once in a while, you have a taste and think, "HMMMM, what's that?" It's a nice balance of flavors with the bacon and the orange and apples. The spinach keeps it moist and heatthy. And, if you're like me, you always run out of room in the oven on Turkey Day. Use your crock pot for the dressing and you've solved the problem. I use a crock pot liner and there's no clean up. Also, the crock pot keeps the dressing moist. How many times have you had dry Thanksgiving dressing at a relative's house? Me, more than I can count. I promise you this dressing will be easy, no clean up, tasty and MOIST.

Yield Makes about 14 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 cups 1/2-inch pieces firm white sandwich bread (about 12 slices)
1 1/4 pounds leeks (about 8 small), halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (about 5 1/4 cups)

3 tablespoons minced garlic (about 10 small cloves)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 cup fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, washed well, spun dry, and chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup turkey giblet stock or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow baking pan spread bread in one layer and bake in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer bread to a large bowl.
  • In a bowl of water wash leeks and drain by lifting leeks from water into a colander.
  • In a large heavy skillet cook leeks, red onions, shallots, celery, garlic, and herbs with salt and pepper to taste in butter and oil over moderate heat, stirring, until onion mixture is softened, about 10 minutes. Add onion mixture to bread with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine well. Cool stuffing and transfer to a buttered 4-quart baking dish. Stuffing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
