SIMPLE SAGE DRESSING/STUFFING



Simple Sage Dressing/Stuffing image

Our family's traditional stuffing recipe for the Thanksgiving turkey. Although I have strayed from time to time over the years, this is the stuffing recipe I always return to. All ingredient amounts are estimated; Mom has never measured and neither have I. Mom wants me to remind you to be careful with the amount of sage you use. Start off using a small amount of sage then adjust as needed. Please note that for safety reasons I do not place the stuffing into the cavity of the turkey, rather, I bake it separately. Finally and most importanly, *please avoid using commercially produced stock in this stuffing*. This is the stock recipe I use every time: Recipe #55282 And the bread recipe I've used the past several Thanksgivings: Recipe #102949

MAPLE-ROASTED TURKEY WITH SAGE, SMOKED BACON, AND CORNBREAD STUFFING



Maple-Roasted Turkey with Sage, Smoked Bacon, and Cornbread Stuffing image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 bunch fresh sage, leaves finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 loaf cornbread, cubed (about 6 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 cups chicken stock
1 (12 to 14 pound) fresh turkey
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup hot water
8 strips smoked bacon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the top rack.
  • Combine the butter and sage in a mixing bowl, mash with a fork or spoon until the sage is well incorporated and the butter has flecks of green in it; season with salt and pepper.
  • In a saute pan, melt 4 tablespoons of the sage butter, add the onions, cook and stir for 15 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from heat. Put the cornbread in a large mixing bowl and scrape the sauteed onion mixture on top. Add the egg, heavy cream, and just enough chicken stock to moisten the stuffing without making it soggy (about 1/2 cup.) Toss well to combine, season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the neck and gizzards from the inside of the turkey and discard. Rinse the bird thoroughly inside and out with cold water, pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity and skin liberally with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, gently lift the skin from the breast and legs, and slip pieces of the sage butter underneath; massaging it in as you go. Fill the bird with the cornbread stuffing without packing too tightly; cook the remaining stuffing separately in a buttered baking dish. Truss the turkey; place it on a rack in a large roasting pan, and put into the oven.
  • Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and hot water to thin the glaze out a bit; use this to baste the turkey every 30 minutes. The turkey should take about 3 hours to cook (i.e. 15 to 20 minutes per pound.) If the legs or breast brown too quickly, cover with foil. About 2 hours into cooking, shingle the strips of bacon oven the turkey breast to cover; continue to roast and baste for another hour or so. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meatiest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F (the thigh juices will also run clear when pricked with a knife.) Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving, so the juices can settle back into the meat.
  • Skim off the excess fat from the pan drippings with a spoon and place the roasting pan over 2 burners set on medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up brown bits stuck to bottom of pan. Whisk the flour into the drippings, stirring as it thickens to prevent lumps. Add the remaining chicken stock and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper and hit it with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavor. Simmer for 5 minutes and then strain to remove any particles. Serve the gravy with the maple-roasted turkey and cornbread stuffing.

MAPLE SAGE BACON-WRAPPED TURKEY BREAST WITH STUFFING CROUTONS



Maple Sage Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Breast with Stuffing Croutons image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment paper
1/2 pound bacon (about 8 strips)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Six to eight 2-inch slices baguette
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 7- to 8-pound skin-on boneless split turkey breast

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Shingle the bacon strips side-by-side on the parchment paper, allowing the edges to overlap slightly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Butter each side of the bread slices, using 2 tablespoons butter in total. Place the bread in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the sage, maple syrup, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a bowl. Use your fingers, and a knife, if necessary, to make a pocket between the meat and the skin of the turkey. Rub the butter under the skin in an even layer. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on a work surface, then lay the turkey skin-side down on the bacon. Wrap the bacon around the turkey by lifting the parchment and pressing the bacon against it to secure. Place the turkey skin-side up on top of the bread and lift away the parchment.
  • Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Quarter the stuffing croutons before serving. Serve warm.

CROWN LAMB ROAST WITH SAGE STUFFING



Crown Lamb Roast with Sage Stuffing image

Ask your butcher to shape the crown roast and tie it with string. Wrap foil around the tops of the cutlet bones to prevent them from burning. Any excess stuffing can be moistened with a little apple juice, rolled in greased foil and baked with the lamb. Cook this dish just before serving. Serve with roasted vegetables and your favourite Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Merlot. One of my favourite meats to cook; my recipe library includes many variations in the preparation and presentation of lamb and this recipe is just one I am pleased to share.

Provided by wildschwein

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 36

60 g butter
1 onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup fresh sage, chopped or 3 tablespoons dried sage
1 teaspoon salt (level)
ground pepper (a few grindings)
1 -1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 kg whole duck (from the supermarket, with neck, 1.8kg, 2kg or 2.2kg ducklings all suitable)
toothpick
2 tablespoons melted butter
salt
ground pepper
1 teaspoon oil
1 carrot (roughly chopped)
1 onion (roughly chopped)
2 stalks celery (roughly chopped)
1 small leek (roughly chopped)
3 garlic cloves (roughly chopped)
10 -20 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 parsley sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon peppercorn
1/2 teaspoon salt
beef stock or chicken stock
2 tablespoons cornflour
cold water
salt
pepper
4 green apples
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons raw sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • Stuffing:.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan. When the foaming subsides, add the chopped onion. Saute on a gentle heat for around 10 minutes. Cook until translucent, avoid browning.
  • Take pan off heat and add all remaining ingredients.
  • Mix well with your hands to incorporate the egg. If the mixture seems a little too dry, add a touch of water. If too moist, add some more breadcrumbs. It should hold its shape easily.
  • Duck:.
  • Cut neck off duckling, and put aside for future use in gravy (below).
  • Put the stuffing inside the cavity of the duck. Close up the flaps of the cavity, securing them with toothpicks.
  • Cover the duck with melted butter, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the duck breast-side down (to make all the juices run into the breast, making for a more succulent final result) on a rack. Then place rack & duck in a roasting tray.
  • Add a little water to the bottom of the roasting tray to prevent burning.
  • Place tray in oven. Cook at 220°C for 15 minutes.
  • After the 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 180C, and cook for a further 30 minutes.
  • After the 30 minutes, turn duck breast-side up and continue cooking for another 60-70 minutes (still on 180°C), checking on occasion that it does not burn/is not browning too much.
  • Note: While duck is cooking, make your gravy and apple sauce.
  • If duck is getting too brown/dark, reduce heat to 160°C, or cover the extremities of the duck with aluminum foil.
  • At the end of the cooking time, remove duck from oven. Place in a warm spot (perhaps atop an unused part of the stove) and cover with aluminum foil until serving time.
  • Gravy:.
  • Chop neck from (above) duckling into pieces with a meat cleaver.
  • Put the pieces of neck and oil in a saucepan over the heat and allow some of the duck fat to render.
  • Add roughly chopped vegetables, herbs, bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt and fry for 20 minutes on medium heat, stirring regularly.
  • After the vegetables and duck neck have achieved a good brown color, add enough water (or stock) to barely cover the contents of pot.
  • Bring slowly to the boil, skimming any scum (bubbly impurities that gather at the surface) that appears.
  • When gravy has come to the boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and continue to skim scum from time to time. Keep on gentle simmer for as long as possible for the best flavor, adding a touch more water or stock from time to time if needed.
  • When the duck (above) gets close to being cooked, strain the gravy through a fine sieve to remove the vegetables, herbs, etc. Push down hard using the back of a spoon so as to extract as much juice as possible. Discard vegetables (or feed to your chickens/compost heap!).
  • In a clean pan, bring the strained gravy to the boil, stirring occasionally.
  • When gravy has reduced by a third, thicken with cornflour dissolved first in a small amount of cold water (3-4 tablespoons). Make sure to quickly stir gravy once cornflour is added to ensure good dispersion of cornflour & smooth gravy consistency.
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper according to your personal tastes.
  • You could also add some of the pan juices from the roast duck once it has finished cooking - just stir in well.
  • Apple Sauce:.
  • In spaces where duck and gravy are cooking & able to be left alone for a bit, prepare apple sauce.
  • Peel and core the apples. Roughly chop them.
  • Place apples in saucepan with all other ingredients (except lemon juice).
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, cooking until the apples collapse (should take around 30 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent burning/sticking.
  • When cooking has finished, take off heat and add lemon juice. Stir.
  • Serving:.
  • Place gravy in a sauce boat.
  • Place apple sauce in a bowl/boat.
  • Carve the duck.
  • Enjoy!
  • This dish is excellent when served with additional accompaniments like roasted new potatoes, pumpkin, minted peas, blanched green beans, honeyed carrots, etc.

ROAST TURKEY WITH SAGE AND MUSHROOM STUFFING



Roast Turkey With Sage and Mushroom Stuffing image

We stuffed the bird with mushroom stuffing, but you can use your own favorite recipe if you prefer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Mushroom Stuffing
1 whole turkey (12 pounds), thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry, neck reserved (giblets discarded)
4 large carrots, halved crosswise
2 large onions, cut into 8 wedges
2 bunches fresh sage, leaves separated from stems (about 1 cup), stems reserved
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Prepare and stuff the turkey.
  • Cut turkey neck into pieces; combine in a large roasting pan with carrots, onions, and reserved sage stems. Set rack in pan (over vegetables); place turkey on rack, breast side up. Rub turkey with butter; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place pan in oven. Pour 6 cups water in bottom of pan; tent with foil. Roast, basting bird every 30 minutes with pan liquids, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees, about 3 1/2 hours.
  • Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400 degrees. Continue roasting, basting occasionally, until thigh reaches 170 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes more. Tent with foil if bird browns too quickly; add more water if pan becomes dry. Transfer turkey (on rack) to a rimmed baking sheet; cover loosely with foil while making the gravy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Stale bread is the best choice for stuffing because it absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients better than fresh bread. A variety of breads can be used, such as white bread, wheat bread, sourdough bread, or cornbread.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Sage is the traditional herb used in stuffing, but many other herbs and spices can be added to taste. Some popular choices include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, onion, celery, and salt and pepper.
  • Don't overstuff the bird: Stuffing expands as it cooks, so it's important not to overstuff the bird. A good rule of thumb is to fill the bird no more than two-thirds full.
  • Roast the stuffing separately: If you're worried about the stuffing not cooking through, you can roast it separately from the bird. Simply place the stuffing in a greased baking dish and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until it is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Sage stuffing is a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious and flavorful stuffing that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
