Pear Stuffing for Turkey image

I find this to be a delicious change from the usual Southern-style dressing served around here. I found the recipe in one of my mother's old cookbooks.

Time 3h25m

Yield 10 servings (8 cups stuffing).

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 large onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
8 cups soft bread crumbs
2 cups diced peeled ripe pears (about 2 medium)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 turkey (10 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in the bread crumbs, pears, broth, salt, pepper and sage. , Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with stuffing. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 165° when inserted in center of stuffing and the thigh reaches at least 170°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.), Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.

This stuffing was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used a combination of Bartlett and Bosc pears, and they were both perfect. I also added a bit of dried cranberries for extra sweetness. My family loved it!
