Stellas Traditional Turkey Stuffing

Traditional stuffing for an 8-person family Thanksgiving feast. Mom got up early to prepare and it was well worth it. It seemed that the stuffing always went first, which caused her to make a double batch. One in the bird, one in a glass bowl. However eating the stuffing from the bird cavity was always preferred!

Step: 1

Combine turkey innards, diced celery, diced carrot, and bay leaf in a pot. Season with salt and pepper and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour, removing liver after 30 minutes. Remove and discard neck, tail, and bay leaf. Remove remaining innards and put with the liver to cool. Keep broth in the pot.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step: 3

Combine bread cubes, beef, chopped celery, apple, walnuts, poultry seasoning, oregano, sage, thyme, and rosemary in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Step: 4

Chop cooled innards into small pieces. Add to the bread mixture and mix until everything is evenly distributed, adding in broth mixture (including cooked celery and carrots) and oil to moisten the dressing to desired texture. Stuffing is ready to bake in the oven or stuff in the bird.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do double-duty .
