SAVANNAH SEAFOOD STUFFING



Savannah Seafood Stuffing image

This is a seafood stuffing that has been in my family for a while. We have never actually stuffed the bird with this to avoid the turkey having a 'fishy' taste. We tend to like our dressing very moist, but if you prefer a drier stuffing, only use half of the broth.

CRUNCHY BAKED CATFISH WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING



Crunchy Baked Catfish With Cornbread Stuffing image

I found this on www.raleys.com but rewrote the directions as they were a bit confusing. Cod and tilapia might work well too. My DH was very happy and floating in seafood heaven ;) ! If you don't like spicy dishes, try Italian Seasoning instead of Cajun and omit the fresh thyme.

2 pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 cups dried cornbread
2 tablespoons butter

From that cut into the sides, opening the tenderloin as you go like a flap or book. Use a meat mallet to pound the butterflied tenderloin out flat. Season with seasoning mixture on both sides and rub with a little of the olive oil.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Separate the dressing into 2 equal parts. Put each into the butterflied tenderloin, spreading evenly along the length and out until about 1 inch from each edge. Roll up the tenderloins making sure the dressing is not falling out on the edges. Pan sear all sides in a little olive oil for color. Then place in preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • Allow pork to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into ¾ inch rounds.
  • Serve with a savory Aus Jus and Sweet Potato puree.

MAINE SEAFOOD STUFFING



Maine Seafood Stuffing image

Emeril did some Thanksgiving stuffing recipes on Good Morning America, and this was one of the Top 5, that was submitted by Linda Hoglund from Franklin, ME. Linda says "It's a Maine seafood stuffing -- the best you've ever had! I grew up on the coast of Maine where seafood is plentiful. My husband, a lobster fisherman and scallop diver, came up with this some years ago. It's now a big favorite of ours, and we're glad to share with you. This stuffing can also be used to stuff clams, on top of crab cakes or on a pork chop -- it's all wicked good! We serve ours with a White Cream Sauce on top of the stuffing." This would be great to put over fish and baked too! I'm thinking flounder, filet of sole, and any other white fish. Times are only approximate. You can also substitute with lobster. You can make this in a 9x9" baking dish as well, and serve it with the White Cream Sauce on top. Cooking time does not include time cooked inside the bird.
