I realize this is un-American, but I could run for President of Turkey Haters Anonymous. There's no ButterBall on my menu, but this recipe from Silver Palate is an annual tradition--the best un-stuffed stuffing ever! It goes along with the SP recipe for "Thanksgiving Potatoes" already on Zaar in many versions - potatoes mashed with butter, cream cheese & sour cream. With these two things on your plate, who needs the bird? THA'ers unite. I know you're out there.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup diced dried apricot
1 1/2 cups Grand Marnier
turkey liver (extremely optional)
turkey heart (extremely optional)
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups coarsely chopped celery
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1 lb herb stuffing mix
1 cup slivered almonds
2 cups rich chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the apricots and 1 cup of the Grand Marnier in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat and set aside. (If you simply must, simmer the giblets in a small saucepan covered with water for 5 minutes. When cool, remove and finely dice, discarding the liquid.).
  • Melt ½ cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and saute for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In the same skillet, cook the sausage, crumbling it with a fork, until it's no longer pink. Remove from heat and add to the celery & onion mixture.
  • Add the stuffing mix, apricots with the liquid, the almonds (and the optional giblets.) Stir to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup butter and chicken stock just until the butter melts. Pour over the stuffing mixture and add the remaining 1/2 cup of Grand Marnier. Stir well to moisten the stuffing, adding the thyme, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake stuffing in a large buttered casserole at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
  • If you insist, you'll have enough to stuff a 21-24 pound bird with a small extra casserole on the side.
  • Note: I usually make just ½ recipe. The Grand Marnier is expensive. If not in your budget, you might substitute another orange flavored liqueur (even Southern Comfort works.).

Tips:

  • Start by toasting the walnuts in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • To easily remove the apricot pits, cut the apricots in half and twist the two halves in opposite directions.
  • If you don't have Grand Marnier on hand, you can substitute another orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec.
  • For a richer stuffing, use a combination of white bread and challah bread.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey, or it will not cook evenly. Aim for about 1 cup of stuffing per pound of turkey.
  • If you are making the stuffing ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
