MOM'S DELICIOUS TURKEY STUFFING RECIPE



Mom's Delicious Turkey Stuffing Recipe image

Provided by Making Things is Awesome

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Large Mushrooms
3 Stalks of Celery
1 Onion
1 Loaf of Bread
1 1/2 Tablespoons Poultry Seasoning
1/4 Cup Dried Parsley
1/2 Cup Raisins
Salt and Pepper
1 Cup Boiling Water
1 Pack OXO Chicken Stalk
1 Spoonful Butter

Steps:

  • Combine all Ingredients under the first section of Dry Ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Boil a cup of water and add the butter and chicken OXO into it.
  • Drizzle the water, butter, and chicken stalk mixture over your dry ingredients bowl while stirring it all together. All of the dry ingredients should be moist.
  • Stuff Turkey with about half of the stuffing mixture. This stuffing will cook inside the turkey as the turkey cooks. A stuffed turkey may take a bit longer to cook than a turkey that is unstuffed, so take that into consideration when timing your turkey.
  • After stuffing the turkey tie the turkeys legs together to hold it all in.
  • With the turkey in a roasting pan, cover the turkey in Tin Foil and Cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes a pound.
  • The other half of the stuffing can be cooked separately in a casserole dish. Just cover with tinfoil and cook for 1 hour at 325 degrees.
  • Remove tin foil from the turkey about 30 minutes before the turkey should be done to help the turkey brown. And when the turkey is done remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes.
  • Remove stuffing from inside of the turkey and mix with other stuffing that was cooked separately. The stuffing cooked inside the turkey will be much more moist than the other, so when mixed together they become the best turkey stuffing ever!

GRANDMOM JACOBS' SAVORY STUFFING



Grandmom Jacobs' Savory Stuffing image

My grandmom's secret ingredient to her stuffing was stale Italian bread to soak up the stock, and Trisha's grandmother used saltines for a nice crunch. On the show, we cooked up a combination of both of our family traditions!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 loaves day-old Italian bread (24 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more to grease your baking dish
3 medium carrots, preferably rainbow, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
3 stalks celery, diced
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cups lightly crumbled saltine crackers (1 sleeve or about 40 crackers)
About 4 cups vegetable stock, chicken stock or turkey pan juices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil.
  • Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment and drizzle over the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toast for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Make sure to watch them so they don't burn. Remove the cubes and switch the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a large bowl.
  • Add the toasted bread and saltines to the vegetables. Add the stock slowly, tossing gently, until the bread is moist but not too soggy; you may not use all of your stock. Place in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes until golden brown.

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing image

This Thanksgiving stuffing is fantastic! It is very flavorful and fresh-tasting. This recipe will stuff a 10-pound turkey (which serves six) plus extra. I replaced the usual pork sausage with much healthier turkey sausage. Other dried fruits may also be used in place of cranberries.

Provided by Culinary Envy

Categories     Side Dish     Stuffing and Dressing Recipes     Sausage Stuffing and Dressing Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 loaf soft Italian bread
½ cup salted butter
¾ pound mild Italian sausage links, casings removed
¾ pound andouille sausage links, casings removed
2 cups diced yellow onion
2 cups diced celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
1 medium orange, zested and juiced, divided
3 large eggs
¼ cup minced fresh Italian parsley
1 (10 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix
¼ cup dried cranberries, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Dice bread into 3/4-inch cubes; spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring several times, until toasted, about 45 minutes. Keep oven on.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming, about 2 minutes; do not allow butter to burn. Add Italian and andouille sausages. Cook, breaking sausages up into fine pieces, until just a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes.
  • Add onion, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently until vegetables are softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups chicken broth, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  • Whisk remaining 2 cups chicken broth, eggs, and parsley together in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly stir in the sausage mixture. Gently fold in the toasted bread cubes, stuffing mix, and dried cranberries until evenly mixed. Transfer to a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until crispy and golden brown on top, about 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of breads: This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include white bread, whole wheat bread, sourdough bread, and cornbread.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: This will make it difficult for the stuffing to cook evenly. Aim to fill the turkey loosely, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
  • Bake the stuffing separately: If you're worried about the stuffing not cooking evenly, you can bake it separately in a casserole dish. Just be sure to cover it with foil to prevent it from drying out.
  • Add moisture: If your stuffing is dry, you can add some moisture by adding broth, milk, or melted butter. You can also add moist vegetables, such as celery, onions, and carrots.
  • Season the stuffing well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your stuffing. Some good options include sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make a delicious and flavorful stuffing that will be the perfect complement to your Thanksgiving turkey. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors. The possibilities are endless!
