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.

MOIST BREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING



Moist Bread Dressing or Stuffing image

An old recipe from a 1960's Good Housekeeping cookbook; this was my mom's classic stuffing recipe that everyone adores. I prefer the tidiness of dressing cooked separately from the turkey, and so I've adapted the recipe to be cooked in a casserole but still retain the moistness of a stuffing. Instructions for using it either way are included. Times are approximate, as they will depend on the temperature of the oven and how full the oven is. Yield is also approximate. Allow around 1 c stuffing per 1 lb of turkey.

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h

Yield 16 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 quart boiling water (3 cups if using as stuffing) or 1 quart chicken broth (3 cups if using as stuffing)
turkey giblets (including neck, but excluding liver)
1 bay leaf
1 pinch salt (or to taste, may omit if using broth)
1/4 teaspoon peppercorn
1 -1 1/2 cup butter
1 cup minced onion
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup diced celery
6 quarts day-old white bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (24 cups, lightly packed, or about 1 1/2-2 loaves)
1/4 cup dry mustard
2 -3 eggs (omit for stuffing option)

Steps:

  • Bring water or broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add giblets, neck, bay leaf, salt (if using), and peppercorns, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
  • Remove bay leaf, giblets, and neck from pan. Discard bay leaf.
  • Mince giblets. Remove as much meat as possible from neck bones and mince. Add minced giblets and meat back to broth.
  • Add butter and onion to pan, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients except eggs into a very large bowl.
  • Pour giblet mixture over bread mixture and toss to mix together well.
  • For Stuffing: Stuff turkey loosely (do not pack) and roast as usual for stuffed turkey. Bake any leftover stuffing in a covered casserole alongside turkey until done, about 30-45 minutes at 350* F, depending on quantity (should be set, not wet, in the center). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey. Makes enough to stuff about a 16 lb turkey.
  • For Dressing: Mix in eggs. Transfer to one large or two smaller baking dishes. Cover tightly and bake along with turkey for about 40-45 minutes for two small dishes or about 50-60 minutes for one large dish, at 350* F or until cooked through (should be set in middle, not wet). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey.

MOM'S AWESOME STUFFING



Mom's Awesome Stuffing image

This is my mom's recipe. I was raised on stuffing (my parents are from up north but now live in the south), not dressing so if I want stuffing when I have a turkey I either have to go to my mom's house or I have to make it myself. My mom is not a recipe kind of person but I helped her make it (so I could learn) and wrote it down as we went. These are all appoximations since I tend to vary the amounts as I cook it just like she does in her cooking. One thing is for sure, it's delicious!!! Oh yeah, it makes enough for an army... I am not sure about the cooking time, it could be more, depending if you cook it in a turkey or less if not, for the most part everything is cooked except the vegetables. ENJOY!

Time 2h10m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs hot pork sausage
1 stalk celery
2 -3 portabella mushrooms (cutup, 10 pieces)
3 large onions
1 zucchini
2 yellow squash
5 -7 slices whole wheat bread (cut into small cubes)
1 (16 ounce) package pepperidge farm herb seasoned stuffing mix
poultry seasoning (lots of it!)
sage (lots!)
cranberries (if you desire)
apple (Granny Smith is good but your choice)

Steps:

  • Brown sausage and drain partially. (Keep some grease for stuffing).
  • Cook Pepperidge Farm stuffing according to directions on package.
  • Mix sausage, part of grease, cooked stuffing and all other ingredients, cooking on low on stovetop, continue to cook a while and taste, cook and taste.
  • When it taste to your liking, you can either put it in the oven for 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half or the best way is to stuff the turkey loosely with it. Don't forget to sew the turkey. If you do stuff the turkey, you will most likely have extra stuffing so you will have to bake some of it in a oven safe dish like I was talking about before.
  • If you cook it in a dish in the stove, make sure you stir it every 20-30 minutes.
