Mushroom-Onion Stuffed Turkey image

I created this superb Mushroom and Onion Stuffing for turkey and it became a family favorite almost overnight. The blend of fresh mushrooms, onions, wine, and half-and-half provide a unique addition to the traditional bread stuffing.-James Hayes, Ridgecrest, California

Stir in the broth, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper; heat through., In a large bowl, combine toasted bread and mushroom mixture. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and egg substitute; pour over bread mixture and toss to coat., Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with 4 cups stuffing. Place remaining stuffing in a greased 8-in. baking dish; refrigerate until ready to bake. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush with melted butter., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180° for the turkey and 165° for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly., Bake additional stuffing, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 20 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.

I'm not a fan of stuffing, but I loved the stuffing in this recipe. It was moist and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the turkey.

This recipe is perfect for a special occasion dinner. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The turkey is always a showstopper.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed this recipe. I made a vegetarian version of the stuffing using mushrooms, onions, and celery. It was delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I made a turkey pot pie with the leftovers, and it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The skin was tough and the meat was a little dry. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I made this recipe for my family, and they loved it! The turkey was cooked perfectly, and the stuffing was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The turkey was dry and overcooked, and the stuffing was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The turkey is always moist and juicy, and the stuffing is packed with flavor.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this recipe changed my mind! The stuffing was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some chopped celery and carrots to the stuffing, and I used a mixture of white and dark meat turkey. The results were delicious!

This mushroom and onion stuffed turkey was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The stuffing was moist and flavorful, and the turkey was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again next year.
