VEGETARIAN STUFFING

I take this to our family gathering for the holidays. Everyone likes it - the meat eaters don't miss the giblets. You can make it vegan by deleting the mushroom soup and increasing the broth, also use no/low fat soup if you like. Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.

MOM'S VEGETARIAN STUFFING



Mom's Vegetarian Stuffing image

Mom makes great stuffing - if you can get some! It's usually gone before it goes around the table, so I think she should double the recipe... I always get some, because she sets some aside for me (the only vegetarian) before she stuffs the bird. Feel free to add more or less of things, that's how Mom cooks, so this is an estimation based on memory.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups bread, cubed, dried (stale)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 egg, beaten with a fork (optional)
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or 1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, large, chopped, including leaves (Mom says they're the best part!)
3 leaves lovage, chopped (optional, could substitute parsley or celery leaves)
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped finely
1/4 teaspoon summer savory
1/2 cup apple, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup cranberries, fresh (optional)

Steps:

  • Saute the above vegetables in oil and toss with bread, broth, raisins, apples, cranberries, and remaining ingredients. Put in an oven friendly container and cover. Place in oven alongside anything that is cooking at the time (like the turkey - or tofurkey).
  • Take out of the oven after 60 minutes. Leave covered until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • For a moist stuffing, use a combination of bread cubes and cooked grains, such as rice, quinoa, or barley.
  • Add vegetables to the stuffing for flavor and nutrition. Diced celery, onions, carrots, and mushrooms are all good options.
  • Season the stuffing generously with herbs and spices. Sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper are all classic choices.
  • If you're using a stuffing mix, be sure to add some additional moisture, such as broth or water, to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Stuff the turkey loosely so that it has room to expand while cooking.
  • Bake the turkey according to the package directions, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving so that the juices can redistribute.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to add extra flavor and nutrition to your holiday meal. Whether you're using a stuffing mix or making your own from scratch, be sure to follow these tips for the best results.
