Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 small potato, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons flour
2 to 2 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock
1/2 cup organic frozen peas
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
3 to 4 ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped
2 small apples, such as Macintosh or Honeycrisp, chopped

About 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, such as Rachael Ray Perfect Poultry Seasoning

1 bag traditional seasoned stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm, or 5 cups cubed stale bread
About 3 cups turkey or chicken stock
Butter, for dotting casserole

Steps:

  • For the turkey filling: Heat the EVOO in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and melt in the butter. Add the turkey and cook, crumbling the meat, until browned. Season with the Worcestershire and some salt and pepper. Add the celery, carrots, onions, potatoes and thyme and cook, partially covered, to soften the vegetables, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute; add the stock and cook to thicken. Stir in the peas until warmed through. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
  • For the stuffing: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When melted, add the celery, apples, bay leaf and onions. Add the poultry seasoning and salt and pepper if using and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the stuffing mix and moisten with the stock. Arrange the stuffing on top of the turkey filling and dot with butter.
  • Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, or bake to serve immediately. If baking immediately, bake at 375 degrees F until brown, bubbly and crisp on top, 15 to 20 minutes. If baking later, bring to room temperature and bake at 375 degrees F until brown, bubbly and crisp on top, 40 to 45 minutes.

TURKEY AND DRESSING CASSEROLE



Turkey and Dressing Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 15h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole bone-in, skin-on turkey breast, 5 to 7 pounds
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
One 8-inch pan prepared cornbread (about 1 pound), crumbled
10 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Rub the turkey breast with the butter and sprinkle with salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Place the turkey skin-side-up in a large roasting pan and cover with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Bake until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours or about 15 minutes per pound. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the breast into thick slices and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a measuring cup and skim off the fat (use the fat for gravy). You'll need 2 to 3 cups of liquid for the dressing; supplement with chicken stock as needed.
  • In a very large bowl, mix together the crumbled cornbread, torn white bread and the cranberries. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add the celery, carrots and onion and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the turkey pan juices and continue cooking until the vegetables are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the cooked vegetables to the bread mixture. Pour in the orange juice and 1 cup of the pan juices and mix well, using a sturdy spoon or your hands. Continue adding pan juices (or chicken stock) until the mixture is very moist, almost soupy. Put the dressing in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch casserole dish. Lay the turkey slices on top of the dressing, using almost all of the meat (reserve the rest for gravy or leftovers). Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature while the oven is heating. Bake until heated through, about 45 minutes. The dressing should be moist. If it appears to have dried out too much overnight, pour another cup of turkey juice over it.
