Turkey Stuffing
Shhh. Don't tell anyone but here's our family recipe - the one we've enjoyed for over 30 years!
Here's a simple but delicious recipe for turkey stuffing.
For years people have commented on how much they enjoy our turkey stuffing (they enjoy it so much that there's never any left!) so now we're going to share it with you.
The family tradition
The quantities of the ingredients you require will vary depending on the size of the turkey you plan to stuff, but here's a good rule of thumb to start with.
- 2 large onions
- 4 stalks of celery
- 1 loaf of multi-grain bread
- 1 lb of breakfast sausage (we prefer pork)
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 2 tsp. Sage
- 3 tsp. Rosemary
- Thyme, Salt & pepper to taste
Assemble your ingredients for chopping. We use organic ingredients for the best results - and for healthier eating. Chop your onions, celery, and bread into small pieces as shown below.
Saute your onions and celery in butter until cooked. Meanwhile, you should be cooking your sausages in another pan until they are golden brown.
Then chop your sausages into small pieces as shown above.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add your spices. If you can get fresh herbs - so much the better! The sage and the rosemary are critical to give this recipe its wonderful taste sensation.
There should be enough butter that the dressing is moist (but not soggy). If it seems too dry, melt and add a little more butter but you don't need a lot because the juices from the turkey will add a lot of moisture to the stuffing.
Put the stuffing into the turkey - fill up both ends and secure with clips or string to keep the stuffing in. If you have more stuffing than will fit in your bird, you can wrap it in foil and put it in the oven along side your turkey.
Be sure to take all the stuffing out of the turkey once it is cooked and store the stuffing in a separate container (if there's any left after the meal). This is important to prevent any risk of food poisoning.
Enjoy!
