**Old-Fashioned Stuffing with Giblets: A Thanksgiving Classic**

Stuffing, also known as dressing, is a classic Thanksgiving dish that is enjoyed by many. This traditional recipe uses giblets, which are the edible organs of a turkey or chicken, to add a rich, savory flavor to the stuffing. The giblets are cooked with onions, celery, and butter, then added to a mixture of bread cubes, herbs, and spices. The stuffing is then baked until golden brown and crispy. This recipe also includes a variation for a vegetarian stuffing, made with mushrooms and walnuts instead of giblets. Both versions of this stuffing are sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving dinner table.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Turkey giblets
1 cup finely chopped celery (2 stalks)
0.5 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
0.5 cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning or ground sage
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.125 teaspoon salt
8 cup dry bread cubes (see tip)
1 - 1.333 cup chicken broth or water

Steps:

  • Rinse giblets. Refrigerate liver until needed. In a small saucepan cook the remaining giblets, covered, in enough boiling water to cover for 1 hour. Add liver. Simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes more or until tender. Drain* and chop giblets; set aside.
  • In the same saucepan cook celery and onion in hot butter over medium heat until tender but not brown; remove from heat. Stir in giblets, sage, pepper, and salt. Place dry bread cubes in a very large bowl; add the onion mixture. Drizzle with enough broth to moisten, tossing lightly to combine.
  • Use bread mixture to stuff one 8- to 10-pound turkey. (See stuffing tips and roasting chart for doneness temperatures and roasting times.) Place any remaining stuffing in a 1-quart casserole. (If necessary, to moisten, add more broth to stuffing in casserole.) Cover and chill until ready to bake.
  • Bake stuffing in casserole alongside turkey during the last 35 to 40 minutes of roasting time or until heated through. Or place all of stuffing in a 2-quart casserole. Bake, covered, in a 325 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

VERY OLD FASHIONED GIBLET DRESSING (FOR TURKEY)



Very Old Fashioned Giblet Dressing (for Turkey) image

This is the way my grandmother and my mother made dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are certainly more "fashionable" ways to make it these days. But nothing reminds me of home and family more than the taste of my traditional dressing with the meal.

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 24

CROUTONS
2 loaves of plain white bread (you can make your own but it really wont matter)
1 c butter
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp celery seed
1/4 c dry parsley (or fresh chopped)
1/4 c dry minced onions (or fresh)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp fresh minced garlic (this is optional!)
GIBLETS AND JUICE
1 turkey neck and all the giblets from the turkey; heart, stomach, neck and liver
4 c water or no salt chicken/turkey broth
1/4 c dry parsley
1/4 c dry minced onions
1 tsp salt
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
VEGETABLES AND FINISHING
3/4 c carrots, chopped (or more to taste)
1 c celery, chopped (or more to taste)
1 c onion, chopped (or more to taste)
optional olive oil or melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. CROUTONS: I make these the day before so that I am not sweating my time in the kitchen.
  • 2. Cut bread slices into bite size pieces. Place in 2 9x13 cake pans ( you will need to toss these several times so its easier to not overcrowd them).
  • 3. Melt butter and all the rest of the Crouton ingredients in a sauce pan. I get it warm then turn off the heat while I finish cutting bread.
  • 4. Pour the melted butter mix over the bread in each pan. Toss throughly so that the butter mix is distributed over the whole pan of bread. If the bread is still dry you can drizzle a little olive oil over it to extend the butter.
  • 5. Bake at 300 for about 1 hour, tossing the croutons every 20 min for even drying and browning. These should come out very toasty and tasty!
  • 6. GIBLETS AND JUICE: I start this as soon as the turkey goes into the oven.
  • 7. Put the CROUTONS into a large lasagna pan (mine is 11x15)
  • 8. Dump everything in a saucepan, make sure that the neck and giblets are covered in liquid. Boil for 20 min. Turn off heat and let set until cool to the touch.
  • 9. Reserve the liquid. Remove neck and giblets. Take all the meat off the neck and put into the CROUTONS.
  • 10. I used to mince all the giblets but now I take the easy way out. Throw the heart, stomach and liver into a food processor and whir till small chunks or pasty (your taste). Dump this into the CROUTONS.
  • 11. Dump chopped vegetables into the CROUTONS. Toss, stir, mix up ... you know what I mean. Add the reserved giblet/neck broth to this until it is moist. If you have used all the broth and the croutons are not moist enough you can either add olive oil chicken/turkey broth or melt a stick of butter and use that.
  • 12. Bake for an hour at 325 (with the turkey) or 30-40 min at 400, you want the vegetables to be tender and the croutons to be semi-dry.

Categories     main-dish

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Giblets, from your turkey
Vegetable oil
Small onion
Small carrot
1 (13 3/4-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 peppercorns
1 recipe Bread Stuffing 101, including bread cubes

Steps:

  • Use the giblets from your turkey. With a heavy cleaver or large knife, chop the turkey neck into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Trim the liver and refrigerate (if it is added to the broth too soon, the liver will overcook and make the broth bitter). In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the neck, heart, and gizzard and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 quartered small onion and 1 coarsely chopped small carrot. Add a 13 3/4-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth and enough cold water to cover the giblets by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface. Add 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 8 peppercorns. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered until the giblets are very tender, about 2 hours. Add the turkey liver and simmer until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain, reserving the stock, if desired. Cool the giblets. Pull the meat off the neck. Chop the neck meat, heart, gizzard, and liver. Stir into he Bread Stuffing 101 along with the bread cubes.

HOMEMADE GIBLET STUFFING FOR TURKEY OR CHICKEN



Homemade Giblet Stuffing for Turkey or Chicken image

In my photo you will notice a darker portion of the stuffing; this was the bit that was stuffed into the turkey itself and after roasting it has a crispy outside coating. This is a delicious savoury stuffing that I make every year for Thanksgiving. During the year I love to make it with a whole chicken minus the giblets as I can't find chickens that come with giblets in the UK. It's fantastic and whatever doesn't fit in the bird you can bake on the side. Note: I sometimes like to use a mixture of white and brown bread in this recipe. NOTE: Since the giblets will take a while you can do everything else while they are cooking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your stuffing. Look for high-quality bread, fresh herbs, and flavorful vegetables.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Overstuffing can make the turkey dry and tough. Aim to fill the turkey loosely, leaving about 1/3 of the cavity empty.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the turkey at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue roasting until the turkey is cooked through.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  • Make extra stuffing: Stuffing is a delicious side dish that can be served with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork. Make extra stuffing so you can enjoy it as a leftover.
