Time 3h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

Neck and giblets from 1 turkey to make a light stock (or 2 to 3 cups of chicken stock)
1 cup walnuts
1 loaf day old French or Italian bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 10 to 12 cups)
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 green apple, peeled, cored, chopped
3/4 cup currants or raisins
5 chopped green pimento olives, pimento removed (can use up to 10 olives)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning or ground sage, to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook on low heat: Cover and turn heat to low. Cook for an hour or until the apples are cooked through. Check every 15 or 20 minutes or so and add water or stock as needed while cooking to keep the stuffing moist and keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. You'll likely need to add at least one more cup of stock or water, if not two. The stuffing should not be crispy or crunchy, but softened, as it would be if it had been cooked entirely inside the turkey.

Thanksgiving Stuffing (Cheat! Using Stove Top) image

Last year I used my method of making turkey/chicken stuffing and used the pre-made packaged mix. My family never knew the difference. Easy and quick with that homemade taste.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium onions, minced
2 -3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (I use Bell's)
2 cups turkey broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
hot water
2 (6 ounce) packages stove top-style seasoned stuffing mix

Steps:

  • Saute onions and celery in butter.
  • Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
  • Heat broth and set aside.
  • Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
  • Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
  • (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)
  • Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
  • Stuff your chicken or turkey. For a side dish place stuffing in a baking dish; cover and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

STOVETOP STUFFING

Since the oven can be full during Thanksgiving or Christmas, I'm showing you how to make stuffing on the stovetop that's not just "as good" as the one you bake, it might even be better. Stuffing can be served immediately, or reheated once the oven is available.

Categories     Bread Stuffing and Dressing

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups cubed day-old white French bread, dried
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, divided
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 ½ cups diced celery
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons dried sage
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 ½ cups turkey broth
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Add dry bread cubes to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and salt, and sauté until the onions soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and broth to the pan. Stir together and wait for the mixture to come to a boil.
  • Carefully remove from heat and pour over the bread cubes. Toss with a large spoon until the bread is evenly saturated.
  • Let the mixture sit and cool in the bowl for about 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Add black pepper, cayenne, parsley, rosemary, and beaten egg to the bowl and mix until evenly combined. Allow mixture to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Melt remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffing mixture, and pat down with a spatula. Cook until a golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes, before turning the stuffing over, one spatula's worth at a time. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, before uncovering and tossing again. Continue cooking and tossing uncovered, until the desired amount of browning and crusting has occurred.
  • Transfer to a casserole dish or serving plate.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium onions, minced
2-3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 T. butter
1 t. poultry seasoning
2 c. chicken broth
2 6oz pkgs Stove Top stuffing mix

Steps:

  • 1. Saute onions and celery in butter. 2. Add poultry seasoning. 3. Toss stuffing mix with onion mixture. 4. Heat broth through and set aside. 5. Read directions on stuffing mix box.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stuffing the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Overstuffing the turkey can make it difficult to cook evenly. Aim to fill the turkey about 3/4 full.
  • Cook the stuffing thoroughly: The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: Let the stuffing rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.
  • Serve the stuffing with gravy: Gravy is the perfect accompaniment to stuffing. It adds moisture and flavor.

Conclusion:

Stovetop turkey stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfectly every time.
