Categories     Turkey

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 jar(s) 4 1/2 oz. sliced mushrooms
1/4 c butter or margarine
1/2 c diced celery
1 1/4 c hidden valley original ranch dressing, divided
2/3 c water
3 c seasoned stuffing mix
1/3 c sweetened dried cranberries
3 c coarsely shredded cooked turkey (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • 1. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid; set aside. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add celery and onion; saute for 4 minutes or until soft.
  • 2. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup dressing, water and reserved mushroom liquid. Stir in stuffing mix and cranberries until thoroughly moistened. Combine turkey, mushrooms and remaining 3/4 cup dressing in a seperate bowl.
  • 3. Spread turkey mixture evenly in a greased 8 inch baking dish. Top with stuffing mixture. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until bubbly and brown.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Stuffing: There are many different types of stuffing, so choose one that you and your family will enjoy. Some popular options include classic bread stuffing, cornbread stuffing, and wild rice stuffing.
  • Stuff the Turkey Loosely: Don't pack the stuffing too tightly into the turkey, as this can prevent it from cooking evenly. Leave some room for the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
  • Truss the Turkey: Once you've stuffed the turkey, truss it securely to help it hold its shape while it cooks. This will also help to prevent the stuffing from falling out.
  • Roast the Turkey Properly: Follow the roasting instructions in your recipe carefully to ensure that the turkey is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey before removing it from the oven.
  • Let the Turkey Rest: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, resulting in a more flavorful and moist bird.

Conclusion:

Turkey and stuffing is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your turkey and stuffing bake turns out perfectly. So gather your family and friends, and enjoy this delicious and festive meal!
