BASIC BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine bread, onion, celery and all seasonings. Add melted butter. Toss gently to mix. Then add hot broth to moisten to desired consistency (but be careful NOT to make it soggy; a little dry is best since it will retain juices from cooking inside the turkey).
• Stuff into the cavity of the turkey before roasting, if desired.
• OR: Pour all into a large casserole and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, not letting the top get too crispy.
• NOTE: Allow 1 cup stuffing for each pound of poultry.

• Preheat the oven to 350° and prep a 9x9 baking dish by generously greasing with butter or oil. (if you are doubling the recipe use a 9x13 or 10x15 baking dish)
• In a large saute pan over medium heat melt 3/4 cup butter. Add the onions and celery and saute until they are completely softened, this will take about 20 minutes.
• Off the heat add the salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, marjoram, fresh sage and parsley to the onions.
• In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and broth.
• Add the bread cubes to a large bowl, pour the onions/herb mixture over the bread and stir to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
• Pour the stuffing mixture into the buttered baking dish. Cube the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and dot the top of the stuffing.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. For an extra crispy top turn the broiler on for a minute or two!

MOM'S STUFFING

Steps:

• 1. Chop onion and celery.
• 2. Saute onion and celery in butter, in a large 4 qt. (oven-safe) pot, over medium heat. Stir often, until soft and golden. This will take about 20 minutes.
• 3. While the vegetables are cooking, cut your bread into cubes. Set aside.
• 4. Stir the seasonings into the onion and celery mixture. Add chicken broth, and heat just to boiling -- do not boil.
• 5. Turn off heat, and stir in bread cubes. Toss to coat, till everything is blended well. If you need more broth you can add it here, but you don't want it too wet. It's going to soften more as it warms in the oven.
• 6. At this point the stuffing is ready to serve. But it's even better if you warm it in the oven, at 350* for 20-30 minutes. For moist stuffing warm it right in your pot. If you like your stuffing dry, spread it in a shallow baking dish for this step. This recipe holds very well, so if you need a little more time, just cover and set the pot aside until you're ready, then uncover and warm 30-40 minutes.
• 7. *Fresh or dry, it doesn't matter, just what you have on hand. If what you have is fresh, just cut it up an hour or two before you want to use it, or lay it on a baking sheet in the oven while you preheat. Use regular bread or gluten free bread, and try a mixture of two or three, like whole wheat, 12 grain, sourdough, sprouted grain, even rye, or cornbread leftovers! Chances are, if it's bread you like, you're going to enjoy it in the stuffing. I keep the heels of a loaf in a bag in the freezer just for this. Whatever is in the mix, it's always delicious.
• 8. NOTES: For weeknight dinners I just make half the recipe. The onion and celery can be prepared ahead and stored in the frig until you're ready to put the stuffing together. If you like more stuff in your stuffing, just throw it in: with the onion and celery if it needs cooked, or with the broth at the end if it doesn't. Options include: mushrooms, chestnuts, oysters If you're vegetarian, use whatever butter substitute you like, and use water or vegetable broth in place of the chicken stock. This recipe really is no fail!

MOM'S DELICIOUS TURKEY STUFFING RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all Ingredients under the first section of Dry Ingredients in a large bowl.
• Boil a cup of water and add the butter and chicken OXO into it.
• Drizzle the water, butter, and chicken stalk mixture over your dry ingredients bowl while stirring it all together. All of the dry ingredients should be moist.
• Stuff Turkey with about half of the stuffing mixture. This stuffing will cook inside the turkey as the turkey cooks. A stuffed turkey may take a bit longer to cook than a turkey that is unstuffed, so take that into consideration when timing your turkey.
• After stuffing the turkey tie the turkeys legs together to hold it all in.
• With the turkey in a roasting pan, cover the turkey in Tin Foil and Cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes a pound.
• The other half of the stuffing can be cooked separately in a casserole dish. Just cover with tinfoil and cook for 1 hour at 325 degrees.
• Remove tin foil from the turkey about 30 minutes before the turkey should be done to help the turkey brown. And when the turkey is done remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes.
• Remove stuffing from inside of the turkey and mix with other stuffing that was cooked separately. The stuffing cooked inside the turkey will be much more moist than the other, so when mixed together they become the best turkey stuffing ever!
