MEMERE'S MEAT PIE AND MEAT STUFFING



Memere's Meat Pie and Meat Stuffing image

My grandmother makes this every year as a Thanksgiving stuffing, while the meat pie version is rarer. Both dishes are out of this world--two of my favorite things to have! I've always wanted to make this and actually watched her make it once, but I couldn't remember the recipe. Then, one day, when I was flipping through New McCall's Cookbook (an excellent volume), I saw her recipe stuck in one of the pages. Enjoy!!

Thanksgiving Turkey with Italian Meat Stuffing image

Each Thanksgiving we all looked forward to my Mom's delicious turkey with Italian meat stuffing. When she got older and could no longer cook, I took over the Thanksgiving dinners. She is no longer with us but each year members of my family continue to ask for Grandma's recipe so they can make it for their own family. I would now like to pass it on to you.

Time 6h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground beef
½ (1 pound) loaf day-old Italian bread
1 large onion, chopped
2 large stalks celery with leaves, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, cut in half
2 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the ground beef into a skillet, and cook and stir the meat until browned and crumbly, breaking it up into chunks as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Place the ground beef into a large mixing bowl.
  • Tear the bread into rough chunks, and place into a bowl; soak bread in water until moistened, and squeeze the water out of the bread. Crumble the wet bread into the bowl with the ground beef. Mix in the onion, celery, mushrooms, 4 cloves of garlic, flat-leaf parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly stuff the turkey with the ground beef mixture, and place into a roasting pan with a lid. Rub the turkey with olive oil, squeeze lemons over the turkey, and sprinkle 2 more cloves of garlic, the garlic powder, and more salt and black pepper over the bird.
  • Roast the turkey uncovered in the preheated oven until the skin is browned, about 45 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees C (175 degrees C), and cover the turkey with the lid. Continue roasting until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 5 more hours. Baste occasionally. If the bottom of the roasting pan looks dry, pour in water.

Tips:

- Use a variety of meats for a more flavorful stuffing. Ground pork, sausage, and ground beef are all popular choices. - Add vegetables to the stuffing for extra flavor and texture. Diced onion, celery, and carrots are classic additions. - Use fresh herbs and spices to season the stuffing. Sage, thyme, and rosemary are all good choices. - Don't overstuff the turkey or chicken. The stuffing should be loose enough to expand as it cooks. - Bake the stuffing in a separate dish if you're worried about it getting too dry. - Let the stuffing rest for a few minutes before serving so that it has time to set.
