Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and delicious food. And no Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a flavorful and satisfying stuffing. This article presents two delectable stuffing recipes that are sure to impress your guests: Sage and Oyster Turkey Stuffing and Vegetarian Stuffing with Dried Cherries and Pistachios.

The Sage and Oyster Turkey Stuffing is a classic Thanksgiving dish that combines the savory flavors of sage, oysters, and turkey. The Vegetarian Stuffing with Dried Cherries and Pistachios is a delicious and unique alternative for those who prefer a meatless stuffing. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be prepared ahead of time, making them perfect for busy hosts.

The Sage and Oyster Turkey Stuffing starts with a base of bread cubes, celery, and onion. The bread cubes are toasted in butter until golden brown, adding a delightful crunch to the stuffing. The celery and onion provide a savory base for the other ingredients. The stuffing is then seasoned with a generous amount of sage, salt, and pepper. Fresh oysters are added to the stuffing, providing a briny and slightly sweet flavor. The stuffing is then moistened with chicken broth and baked until cooked through.

The Vegetarian Stuffing with Dried Cherries and Pistachios is a flavorful and colorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. The stuffing starts with a base of bread cubes, celery, and onion, just like the Sage and Oyster Turkey Stuffing. However, instead of oysters, this stuffing is filled with dried cherries and pistachios. The dried cherries provide a sweet and tart flavor, while the pistachios add a nutty crunch. The stuffing is seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, including thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg. The stuffing is then moistened with vegetable broth and baked until cooked through.

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups onion, finely diced (about 2 to 3 large onions)
1 1/2 cups celery diced (about 6 stalks)
1-ounce dried sage
12 cups day old bread, broken up (about 1 loaf)
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/4 cups clarified butter
18 medium shucked oysters
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 to 3 pounds boneless turkey breast, skin on
Turkey neck and giblets to make 1 cup turkey giblet stock
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside to drain. Add onion, celery, and sage to the bacon fat rendered in the skillet, and cook until onions are translucent and celery is soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sage and broken-up bread to the skillet. Stir in parsley, butter, oysters, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss stuffing, but mix well, and let cool.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butterfly the turkey breast with smooth side down and stuff, folding edges over to hold stuffing. (You may want to secure with skewers or cotton kitchen twine.) Season turkey breast with salt and pepper and place into the oven to roast until it reaches an internal temperature of about 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • While turkey is in oven, place the turkey neck and giblets in a medium saucepan with 4 cups water and cook until you have about 1 cup of giblet stock. Reserve the neck and giblets, removing meat from neck when cool enough to handle and chopping giblets. When turkey is done, remove breast to a platter to let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Skim most of the fat from the pan juices, reserving 1/3 cup of the fat. Add the wine to the remaining pan juices and cook over medium high heat until reduced by half. In a separate saucepan, heat reserved 1/3 cup of fat and whisk in flour over moderately low heat for a few minutes to make a roux. Add stock and wine reduction, continuing to cook until gravy simmers. Add reserved cooked and chopped giblets and neck meat. Slice turkey to reveal stuffed interior and arrange on plate. Serve with gravy.

OYSTER-SAGE DRESSING



Oyster-Sage Dressing image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf (about 1 pound) whole-wheat bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon dried sage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or low- sodium chicken or turkey stock
1 pint (2 cups) freshly shucked oysters with liquor, chopped if they are large
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • If possible, leave the cubed bread out overnight. When ready to make the stuffing, melt the butter in a very large skillet or kettle and saute the onion and celery until just tender. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the bread, sage and parsley to the bowl. Toss gently until just incorporated. Fold in stock until the whole is just moistened. Fold in the oysters and oyster liquor. Season with pepper and salt. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is lightly browned, about 30 minutes more. (Alternatively, use to stuff into turkey before roasting.)

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stuffing will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Overstuffing the turkey can make it difficult to cook evenly. 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 450°F for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue roasting until the turkey is cooked through.
  • Baste the turkey regularly: Basting the turkey with its own juices will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes or so.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sage and oyster stuffing is a classic Thanksgiving dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its savory flavors and moist texture, this stuffing is a perfect complement to roasted turkey. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a delicious and memorable stuffing that will be the star of your Thanksgiving feast.
