detlef Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Just curious. I'm taking the seasoned stuffing.... butter, onions, ground sausage, some apple sause and celery? Teach me. 1168808[/snapback] Because I often bake the stuffing separately from the bird, I usually toast the bread cubes in duck fat. That makes it pretty freaking good. Of course, pretty much everything tastes good cooked in duck fat. So grab that container of duck fat you've got in the back of the fridge and have at it.

Los Gigantes Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 My mom's stuffing recipe is pretty simple, but very good. Finely chop a ton of onions and celery. Add olive oil and Lawry's season salt (special ingredient) cover and cook in microwave. Add eggs and unseasoned bread cubes or old chopped up challah. Cook in Bird.

Duchess Jack Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hmmm.... sounds good thus far. If it makes a difference.... my mother-in-law is grilling the turkey and bringing it seperately - so the stuffing will be cooked outside the bird.

Jimmy Neutron Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Just curious. I'm taking the seasoned stuffing.... butter, onions, ground sausage, some apple sause and celery? Teach me. 1168808[/snapback] Sounds like you're off to a good start. Make sure you use a good, stale bread and to cook most of the stuffing outside the bird. I think the stuffing insude the turkey loses too much texture. I like a distinct sage flavor to stuffing - I grow the stuff in by herb garden just for Thanksgiving - I never use sage the rest of the year. It's actually still green right now.

rocknrobn26 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Very simple....very good. Stale bread (This brings back memories of childhood! My Mom the night before would put out cookie sheets filled with bread all over the place and let it get stale, or put them in the oven if it was getting late) Ground Beef Salt, Pepper, and Accent Chicken stock Not sure of the exact proportions, but: Fry the Ground beef and drain Soak the bread w/ some water & chicken stock Fry the mixture w/ some chicken stock Season w/ Salt, Pepper, and Accent All I know is the stuffing NEVER outlasts the leftover turkey. In years gone by, my bro and I would fight over the leftovers. Now RR juniorette and I fight over the leftovers. She'd always, even today, make a bowl just for me as an appetizer whilst the bird was cooking! What a Mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle LawDawg Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 My sausage / apple stuffing is finished until tomorrow. No secret ingredients: Just sausage, apples, bread, celery, onion, roasted garlic, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper and apple cider. I've never measured anything so I couldn't give any exact numbers. I am notorious for preparing way too much food because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Well, too late for this year.... but I like what Bier does there. My family is died in the wool traditional Irish. have only in the past couple of years gotten them to embrace sausage in stuffing. My version includes a breakfast sausage.... as to Bier's comments about using flavored sausage, I find that it's fine, but just don't use too much. Simple recipe: Fry some onions and celery until soft. Use unflavored bread stuffing, or do the stale bread thing as RR suggested. Most bread stuffings are over seasoned for my tastes. If you can use your own home made chicken broth, the better. This is hardly precise, but, about 6 cups bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 2 cups broth, and mix. Add the celery and onion, and precooked sausage if you like. Bell's seasoning is my preferred spice accoutrament, added to taste. I am not crazy about any sort of fruit in there, or the Italian tradition of adding nuts of any sort. If ya want almonds, fine. Go get some, and put em out on an houre duerve dish. (yeah, I can't spell that) Bottom line, it's the gravy that will make or break the stuffing. That would be another thread though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Can't remember which Food Network show it was one, but they made Stuffin' Muffins. Stuffing put into muffin tins and then baked a bit to give a good crispy outside. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
