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.

MY GRANDMA'S HEIRLOOM - THANKSGIVING STUFFING



My Grandma's Heirloom - Thanksgiving Stuffing image

When my grandmother passed away, I received a number of things from her estate. None were as important to me as her handwritten recipe for dressing. Not only is it the BEST dressing I've ever tasted, but it's also not too "sage"y...wonderful for those of us who don't adore sage. I add mushrooms and sometimes finely chopped oysters for personal preference. The shared secret recipe is written out on "General Shale Brick" notepaper, the company my grandfather worked for before he died.

GRANDMA'S SAUSAGE TURKEY STUFFING



Grandma's Sausage Turkey Stuffing image

This recipe is from my husband's mother and is a family tradition and loved by all. It is surprisingly easy. There is never enough so I usually double this recipe. Our son is very allergic to dairy products so I was thrilled to discover that this was safe for him as long as I double checked the ingredients in the sausage and Cubed Stuffing each time as things change. Needless to say, it is his favorite part of Thanksgiving.

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb Bob Evans sausage, Mild sausage
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped (one large)
8 celery ribs, finely sliced
1 (16 ounce) can chicken stock
1 (14 ounce) bag cubed peppridge farm herb stuffing mix
1/4 cup fresh parsley, washed and chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried sage

Steps:

  • To make this easy to prepare, I chop the onion, celery and parsley first.
  • In a large skillet, (I use an electric skillet for easy clean up) chop up the pork sausage with a utensil as it starts to cook. Just as this is starting to cook a bit, add your onion, celery, poultry seasoning and sage. Cook until the sausage is done and the celery and onion have cooked down. Taste it as it is safe to eat at this point. Add more seasoning if you think it needs it. It should taste like stuffing at this point and very good! Turn off heat.
  • In a large bowl pour 1/2 bag of the cubed stuffing croutons, 1/2 of the chicken stock and 1/2 of the sausage. Stir well and repeat.
  • Refrigerate overnight or until you are ready to use. Makes enough to stuff a 16-20 pound turkey and a small casserole on the side. Spray your casserole dish with vegetable spray and add some turkey drippings to the casserole while cooking. Casserole cooks in about 25 minutes on 325 degree oven.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stuffing the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Overstuffing the turkey will make it difficult to cook evenly and may cause the stuffing to become dry. Aim to fill the turkey loosely, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  • Cook the stuffing thoroughly: The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the stuffing before serving.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: Let the stuffing rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.

Conclusion:

Grandma's stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. Whether you're serving it with turkey, chicken, or pork, this stuffing is sure to be a hit. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for beginner cooks and experienced chefs alike.
