2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 stick butter, softened
1 fresh bay leaf, available in produce department

8 cups cubed stuffing mix (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)

When butter melts, add bay leaf and add the vegetables as you chop them, celery, onions then apples. Sprinkle the vegetables and apples with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook 5 to 6 minutes to begin to soften vegetables and apples then add parsley and stuffing cubes to the pan and combine. Moisten the stuffing with chicken broth until all of the bread is soft but not wet.
  • Butter 12 muffin cups, 2 tins, liberally with remaining butter. Use an ice cream scoop to fill and mound up the stuffing in muffin tins. Remove the bay leaf as you scoop the stuffing when you come upon it. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or room temperature.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER STUFFING MUFFINS



Thanksgiving Leftover Stuffing Muffins image

Have you ever been overwhelmed when you open the refrigerator the day after Thanksgiving and see all of those leftovers? Reheating those leftovers the same way, day after day, gets old very quickly. Here's a fun and tasty way to turn dinner into an on-the-go breakfast special or maybe breakfast for dinner.

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Thanksgiving Leftovers

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray
4 cups crumbled leftover stuffing
1 cup chopped cooked turkey
¾ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 tablespoon chicken broth, or as needed
12 (1/2 inch) cubes Cheddar cheese
5 large eggs eggs
2 tablespoons chicken broth
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray muffin tin cups with cooking spray.
  • Combine stuffing, turkey, and corn kernels in a large bowl, and stir gently. If mixture is particularly dry, add 1 tablespoon chicken broth, a little at a time, until mixture is moist, but not mushy. Loosely and equally portion stuffing mixture amongst the 12 muffin cups. Insert a Cheddar cheese cube into the center of each muffin cup.
  • Whisk eggs, 2 tablespoons chicken broth, salt, and pepper together in a cup. Divide egg mixture evenly among the cups. The egg mixture will not completely cover the stuffing, but it puffs up when baked.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are browned and slightly crisp on the top, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before removing the muffins by running a knife around the edge of each cup. Serve warm with a dollop of cranberry sauce spooned on the top.

Categories     Holidays and Events Recipes     Thanksgiving

Time 3h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 ½ cups cold milk
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
salt to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 cups chicken broth
12 cups dry bread cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Melt butter for country gravy in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and crumble into very small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and whisk until it combines with butter and sausage fat to create a roux. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add green onions. Cook and stir for 1 minute; don't overcook.
  • Pour in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until nice and thick. Stir in salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.
  • Transfer gravy into a bowl and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap and refrigerate until cold and thick, about 2 hours, or until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 12-cup muffin tin with a 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and salt; cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add poultry seasoning and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, combine bread cubes, parsley, sage, and thyme in a large bowl.
  • Pour boiling broth mixture over bread-herb mixture and stir until combined. Mix in eggs. Fill the prepared muffin cups to the top with stuffing mixture, then go around and evenly divide remaining stuffing on top of each muffing, piling it up nice and high.
  • Wet your finger and make a big hole in the center of each muffin, poking down pretty far but stopping about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Place about 2 tablespoons chilled gravy into each hole, centering it in the hole the best you can. Reserve remaining gravy for another use.
  • Dampen your hands and mold the stuffing for each muffin over the top to cover the gravy center. Generously brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven with a baking pan on a lower rack to catch any drippings. Bake until muffins have firmed up and are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove and serve.

STUFFING MUFFINS



Stuffing Muffins image

Stuffing is a traditional Thanksgiving accompaniment to the turkey, but turning stuffing into muffins helps them hold their own on the holiday table -- with or without the bird. This recipe for stuffing muffins comes from reader Ilene Godofsky of Queens, who writes the Colorful Kitchen food blog. (Ms. Godofsky's vegan pumpkin double-chocolate brownies make the blog worth the visit!) We like this fresh take on stuffing, and the fact that you can serve these muffins on their own, or top with two of our other favorite side dishes -- mashed potatoes and gravy.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-18 Mini muffins (depending on pan)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups bread cubes (about 1 loaf)
3 tablespoons vegan butter
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups celery, diced
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
2½ - 3 cups vegetable broth
oil to grease muffin tin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread bread cubes out on baking sheet in an even layer. Bake until toasted (about 10 to 15 minutes). Transfer bread to large bowl.
  • Heat the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion, garlic and celery. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes. Add mixture to bowl with bread cubes.
  • Stir together the ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom and then add to the bowl with the bread. Add thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper into bowl with bread. Add the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, and toss together. Allow to absorb for a minute before adding more broth. If the bread is too soggy, do not add the full amount.
  • Lightly grease the mini muffin tin. Spoon mixture into each spot, packing it down and filling it slightly above the top. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until edges are browned. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of breads: Use a combination of white bread, cornbread, and/or whole wheat bread for a more flavorful stuffing.
  • Dry the bread cubes thoroughly: This will help the stuffing to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Use a chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Add some fresh or dried herbs and spices to the stuffing for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the muffins: Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the stuffing will expand as it bakes.
  • Bake the muffins until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Thanksgiving stuffing muffins are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic holiday dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and moist stuffing that the whole family will love.
