MY DAD'S ITALIAN-AMERICAN TURKEY STUFFING



My Dad's Italian-American Turkey Stuffing image

This is the stuffing I grew up on. My dad insisted the pilgrims were eating mozzarella and pepperoni on the Mayflower! I think he cracked that joke so many times that he started to believe it...I love what the cheese does when baked inside the bird. The pepperoni becomes almost like bacon or Pancetta here when mixed with the otherwise traditional stuffing ingredients. If you don't want to use or don't have the turkey gizzard and heart, simply omit. Take a chance on this stuffing and you will never go back...

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
8 stalks celery, stalks trimmed of leaves and ends and cut into thin slices
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices white sandwich bread
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, stemmed
10 fresh sage leaves, stemmed and cut into thin strips
1 teaspoon dry rosemary
1 turkey heart, cut into small pieces
1 turkey gizzard, cut into small pieces
12 ounces pepperoni, casing removed, cut into small cubes
1 pound loose pork breakfast sausage, broken into small pieces and cooked
1 1/2 pounds mozzarella cheese, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, boiled and cooled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cook the vegetables: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) of the butter. Add the onions and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables, over medium heat, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the contents to a bowl. Set aside.
  • Toast and season the bread: Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until light brown. Alternatively, brown them in a toaster. While the bread is still hot, lightly butter both sides of each piece with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cut into 1-inch squares and transfer them to a large bowl. Toss with salt, pepper, the thyme, sage and rosemary. Mix to blend. Set aside.
  • Cook the turkey innards and pepperoni: Heat a tablespoon of the butter and, in a large skillet, quickly saute the heart and gizzard pieces, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add it to the bowl of celery and onions. Stir to blend. In the same large skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter and saute the pepperoni pieces over high heat until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Make the mix: Combine the celery and onion mixture, the cooked breakfast sausage, the mozzarella and the pepperoni in the bowl containing the toasted bread. Mix to blend and add the cup of chicken stock to moisten all of the ingredients.
  • Pour the mixture into a large baking dish and cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.

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!

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM TURKEY STUFFING



Traditional Sausage-Mushroom Turkey Stuffing image

My mother-in-law was famous for her wonderful turkey stuffing, which my husband always looked forward to at holiday time. When my in-laws moved to California, he was bemoaning that he wouldn't have that stuffing anymore! I asked my mother-in-law how she made it, but she didn't have it written down, and told me "a handful of this" and a "handful of that". Needless to say, when I attempted to recreate it, it was a disaster. I started building a recipe from scratch, and ended up incorporating mushrooms, which I love. Ultimately, my husband ending up preferring my stuffing! As they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sliced celery
2 cups chopped onions
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 (13 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth (and additional broth, if necessary)
2 lbs loaf firm-textured white bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes (stale or toasted, do not use fresh)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pan fry sausage over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked well. Set aside.
  • In large fry pan, melt butter. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook down until about 1/3 of the liquid remains.
  • In large bowl, toss bread cubes with poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and drippings to bowl and stir. Add vegetables and broth mixture to bowl and stir. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Mixture should be moist and bind together easily. (If not, add more chicken broth.).
  • Stuff neck and body cavities of turkey, or spoon into a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with foil. Truss turkey and roast as usual or, if baking, add casserole to oven about 30 minutes end of turkey roasting time and let bake for 45 minutes. I have also successfully made stuffing balls with this recipe, rolling the stuffing mixture into balls (I got about 15 of them), placing them on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and baking in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes. They were moist and delicious!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausage. This will add flavor and depth to your stuffing. You can use pork sausage, turkey sausage, or a combination of both.
  • Don't overcook the sausage. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use fresh herbs and vegetables. This will give your stuffing the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't pack the stuffing too tightly into the turkey. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Stuff the turkey just before roasting. This will help to keep the stuffing moist.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the stuffing has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

Conclusion:

Dad's Wonderful Sausage Turkey Stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its flavorful combination of sausage, turkey, herbs, and vegetables, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
