Absolutely the Best Stuffing... Ever! image

I have numerous friends who now use this recipe for their own Turkey during the holidays. This recipe is for a 10-12 Lb turkey. It also will stuff 2-3 chickens so you don't have to wait till Thanksgiving. This Murray family recipe is hands down the best stuffing... EVER! ...NOTE: this is a stuffing, not a dressing and does not work if cooked along side the bird in the oven. Oh, and no seasonings are needed. ;) Also, for those worried about cross-contamination....... I've had folks say "they won't eat anything that was in a raw bird"..... but . isn't . the . bird . 'raw' . too, until you cook it? Live and let live. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 1 10-12 lb Turkey, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 lb bacon, thick sliced cut into 1-inch cubes semi frozen and use scissors for easy cutting
1 large onion, chopped
2 -4 celery ribs, chopped
1 loaf white bread, more if needed (use fresh or stale but still soft cut into 1-inch cubes. Use a serrated knife so as not to squish it)
1/2 cup turkey gizzard, boiled and chopped fine (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl place the bread cubes; set aside. In large skillet, melt butter. Add bacon and sauté until bacon is cooked but not crisp.
  • Add onion and celery, cook until the onions are almost translucent and bacon starts to crisp. Do not drain. Remove skillet from stove; allow 10 minutes or so to cool.
  • Pour over bread cubes (with optional gizzards) and toss. It should be cool enough now to mix with hands (squishing like making a meatloaf). Stuff and tie turkey or chickens.
  • Cook as directed for STUFFED turkey or chicken.
