EASY, OH SO AMAZING, MRS. CUBBISON'S TURKEY STUFFING, MY WAY



Easy, Oh so Amazing, Mrs. Cubbison's Turkey Stuffing, My Way image

i've been making stuffing like this ever since my mom taught me how. this stuffing is perfect for those who don't like all the "extra stuff" people put in their stuffing (ie. sausage, apples, cranberries, nuts) no thanks!! i use both types of mrs. cubbison's to get the right texture, the cubed stuffing and seasoned dressing (one is cubed and the other is more loose). but the zaar powers that be don't recognize those ingredients so make sure you get both types. this recipe makes alot of stuffing but i like it that way so i'm sure there will be plenty left for all of the yummy leftover recipes i love to make.

1 tablespoon sage
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup butter, melted
6 cups turkey broth (from your cooked bird)

  • You can also hard-boil the eggs the night before to save you time.
  • I usually only get about 3-4 cups of broth from my turkey so I boil the turkey neck in 3 cups water to make up the difference.
  • Sauté celery, onion and garlic in olive oil.
  • In a large tray combine both boxes of mrs. cubbison's & crumbled corn bread (i use one of those huge disposable turkey roasting trays from the store).
  • Add veggies, eggs & seasonings.
  • Drizzle with butter & turkey broth until desired moistness, stirring occasionally to disperse liquids.

  • Dry the Bread Properly: Before cubing the bread, spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast it in a low oven (200-250°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cubes are completely dry and golden brown.
  • Enhance Flavor with Aromatics: Incorporate aromatic vegetables like onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and shallots into your stuffing mixture for a flavorful base.
  • Add Moisture with Stock or Broth: Use flavorful liquids like chicken, vegetable, or turkey stock or broth to moisten the stuffing and enhance its taste.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Elevate the stuffing's flavor profile with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, sage, and rosemary, as well as spices like paprika, nutmeg, and black pepper.
  • Add Texture with Nuts, Seeds, or Dried Fruit: Incorporate nuts like walnuts or pecans, seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or dried fruit like cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor.
  • Bake or Stuff the Turkey: You can either bake the stuffing separately or stuff it inside the turkey before roasting. If baking separately, bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
