MY FAMILY'S MEAT STUFFING FOR A TURKEY image

Looking at this recipe it may look daunting. However, if you read it through first, you will see it really is very easy. I did not state a cook time because it depends on how big yuor turkey is and whether you stuff it or put the stuffing on the side in the oven. This is a meat stuffing my family has used all my life and...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lb ground beef, your choice of cut
1 lb ground pork, i use jones sausage roll***
1 c large dice celery
1 c large dice onion
6-12 oz pepperidge farms onion & garlic croutons
1 lb butter, you may not need it all
poultry seasoning
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. First, have a very large bowl or pot close to stove top so you can put ingredients in as they are cooked.
  • 2. Second, you need a good sized fry pan, preferabley with deep, straight sides.
  • 3. Third, a good pair of tongs and spoonula
  • 4. Fourth, are the ingredients. These are estimations, I don't really measure
  • 5. Fifth, you might want to do the prep ahead so as to be able to cook and stuff all at once. Or not!
  • 6. ***you could use just ground pork but the sausage gives a better taste.
  • 7. Heat fry pan and oil lightly with a pat of butter.
  • 8. Fry 1/2 the beef and 1/2 the sausage together. Make sure to break it all up and mix it well until all is cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl you have waiting. Juices and all.
  • 9. Do the same to the rest of the beef and sausage. Mix thoroughly
  • 10. Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the celery until almost cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • 11. Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the onion until wilted, but not brown. Dump all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • 12. Add seasonings at this point. Use the amount that is to your liking. Mix very well.
  • 13. Finally, add the 1 box of croutons and mix several times over the next 15-20 minutes
  • 14. I stuff my turkey, both neck and cavity immediately, while the stuffing is hot, and put it into the oven to roast. The extra stuffing goes in a separate pan to cook along side the turkey
  • 15. If you use a spearate casserole to do cook the stuffing, you may want to use some pan drippings to mix into the casserole and give it more flavor.
  • 16. With this we serve mashed potatoes, peas, my special turnip/carrot mash, cranberry sauce, and Polish rye or sisal bread. Of course, the gravy, too!
