Bonnies 30 Minute No Bake Turkey Dressing Food

BONNIE'S 30-MINUTE NO BAKE TURKEY DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE BREAD: Cut the french bread into small cubes no larger than 1/2 inch square. Place the cubes on the cookie sheet in a 300 degree oven until they are very dry. Meanwhile,
• 2. PREPARE THE SEASONINGS: Mix together the instant onion, garlic powder, parsley flakes, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Set aside
• 3. PREPARE THE LIQUID: Place one cup of water in a small saucepan, add the butter and the chicken granules. Get it hot, but don't boil it.
• 4. PREPARE ANY OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: Sometimes, I add sauteed onion and celery to mine. If you make optional ingredients, add them to the liquid mixture now.
• 5. MAKING THE DRESSING: The bread should be dry or close to it. Transfer the bread cubes to a large kettle. Add the seasonings and toss well. Now add the liquid mixture, and mix gently until well combined. Put the lid on and let it sit about five minutes, and mix gently again. Put the lid back on and let sit at least 15 minutes. Enjoy!
• 6. Cook's Tip: This is seasoned to my family's taste. If you prefer a lighter seasoning flavor, just add more bread, and a little water 1/4 cup at a time, until it is just right for you.

CHEF JOHN'S BONELESS WHOLE TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place turkey, skin-side down, on a work surface and arrange meat with your hands into a flat, even surface. Season with salt and black pepper. Press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.
• Fold long edges of turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. Tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. Repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey, ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. Season with salt and place in a large roasting pan.
• Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer turkey to a platter; remove and discard twine. Let rest until internal temperature increases to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
• Place roasting pan over medium-high heat and stir cream into pan drippings. Cook and stir until sauce thickens and reduces, 3 to 7 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy boat or bowl. Slice turkey crosswise and top slices with gravy.

THE BEST TURKEY DRESSING (STUFFING)

Steps:

• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan. Add onions. Cook over medium heat until onions are quite soft and tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer onions and butter to a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Melt another 6 tablespoons butter in the same frying pan. Add apple. Cook over medium heat, until lightly colored but not mushy. Transfer apples and butter to mixing bowl with onions.
• Crumble sausage into frying pan. Cook over medium heat, until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to mixing bowl. Reserve fat. Add remaining ingredients, except eggs and stock, to mixing bowl. Mix well. Add eggs. Mix. Add enough stock to bowl to make a moist, but not runny, mixture. Add fat to stuffing if desired. Stuff a 20-lb. turkey. If cooking dressing separately from turkey, pour fat over dressing in casserole. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through.
