THANKSGIVING TURKEY WITH ITALIAN MEAT STUFFING
Each Thanksgiving we all looked forward to my Mom's delicious turkey with Italian meat stuffing. When she got older and could no longer cook, I took over the Thanksgiving dinners. She is no longer with us but each year members of my family continue to ask for Grandma's recipe so they can make it for their own family. I would now like to pass it on to you.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place the ground beef into a skillet, and cook and stir the meat until browned and crumbly, breaking it up into chunks as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Place the ground beef into a large mixing bowl.
- Tear the bread into rough chunks, and place into a bowl; soak bread in water until moistened, and squeeze the water out of the bread. Crumble the wet bread into the bowl with the ground beef. Mix in the onion, celery, mushrooms, 4 cloves of garlic, flat-leaf parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly stuff the turkey with the ground beef mixture, and place into a roasting pan with a lid. Rub the turkey with olive oil, squeeze lemons over the turkey, and sprinkle 2 more cloves of garlic, the garlic powder, and more salt and black pepper over the bird.
- Roast the turkey uncovered in the preheated oven until the skin is browned, about 45 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees C (175 degrees C), and cover the turkey with the lid. Continue roasting until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 5 more hours. Baste occasionally. If the bottom of the roasting pan looks dry, pour in water.

Steps:
- To prepare the stuffing: Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before peeling and chopping.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef and pork; cook until the meat is starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the chopped onions and half of the chopped garlic, along with the steak sauce, vinegar, lemon zest, cumin, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are completely tender and the meat is cooked through, 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl to cool. The meat base can be made up to 1 day in advance. You may cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to make the rest of the stuffing.
- To the same large pot, melt the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining onions and garlic, along with the bell peppers, celery, and scallions. Add the tomato paste and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 15 minutes. Soak the bread in the milk for 3 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid from the bread as you can and then crumble it into the pot. Add the meat mixture back into the pot, along with the chopped eggs, sausage, raisins, parsley, and olives and mix to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Transfer the stuffing to a buttered casserole dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the top is nicely browned. Serve with roast turkey.
GRAMMA CARUSO'S SICILIAN STUFFING
This recipe comes from my Gramma, who was one of the best cooks I ever knew. My mom always made the traditional bread stuffing, which was okay, but when it was my Gramma Caruso's turn to have Thanksgiving, I couldn't wait to smell and eat her stuffing. Just like her, it was wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving, Gramma--I miss you!

Steps:
- Heat oil in skillet, add onions and cook until slightly tender. Add all the ground meat and incorporate with fork. Add salt and pepper and garlic. Cook until half done, then add mushrooms, and continue cooking until meat is done. Do not drain.
- Put in large mixing bowl and add cooked rice. Toss, add bread crumbs, cheese, milk, and egg. Sorry guys, now ya gotta use your hands. Mix together, again add salt and pepper to taste. When fully mixed, add your chicken broth or water, more if you want a moist stuffing.
- There should be plenty to stuff your turkey, plus a full baking dish on the side. I put the baking dish in the last hour, top with 2 tablespoons butter and cover.
MY FAMILY'S MEAT STUFFING FOR A TURKEY
This is a meat stuffing my family has used all my life and before. This was given to my mother by her mother, and I imagine, her mother. Our whole family used this recipe. My daughter makes this stuffing as well, and now my granddaughters have the recipe so they will eventually use it. It is a very tasty stuffing so we make "tons" of it to freeze or use over the holidays. It's good on toast with gravy as a hot open sandwich. Or with turkey slices and gravy as a leftovers meal. You can make it a day or so ahead, but you must bring it to room temp if you are going to stuff your bird with it. ETA: I have always made the stuffing and put it into the turkey HOT. That way there is no problems with the turkey being overdone to make sure the stuffing is heated through. IN RESPONSE THE THE REVIEW DATED NOV 20 2007 ---- I appreciate your FYI, however, I have been making my turkey just this way for over 40 years, and have yet to lose a family member or friend. I have eaten it this way from "birth" since this recipe and method has been used by my mother and my grandmother before her.

Steps:
- First, have a very large bowl or pot close to stove top so you can put ingredients in as they are cooked.
- Second, you need a good sized fry pan, preferabley with deep, straight sides.
- Third, a good pair of tongs and spoonula.
- Fourth, are the ingredients. These are estimations, I don't really measure.
- Fifth, you might want to do the prep ahead so as to be able to cook and stuff all at once. Or not!
- *you could use just ground pork but the sausage gives a better taste.
- Heat fry pan and oil lightly with a pat of butter.
- Fry 1/2 the beef and 1/2 the sausage together. Make sure to break it all up and mix it well until all is cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl you have waiting. Juices and all.
- Do the same to the rest of the beef and sausage. Mix thoroughly.
- Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the celery until almost cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the onion until wilted, but not brown. Dump all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Add seasonings at this point. Use the amount that is to your liking. Mix very well.
- If it seems too dry at this point, melt more butter in the fry pan and add to the mix.
- Finally, add the 1 box of croutons and mix several times over the next 15-20 minutes.
- There should be little or no liquid in the bottom of the pot/bowl after this time. The croutons should have absorbed it. If not, add more croutons and repeat.
- Now you can either put the stuffing in a casserole dish, roaster or other baking pan , and cook separately from the turkey.
- I stuff my turkey, both neck and cavity immediately, while the stuffing is hot, and put it into the oven to roast. The extra stuffing goes in a separate pan to cook along side the turkey.
- If you use a spearate casserole to do cook the stuffing, you may want to use some pan drippings to mix into the casserole and give it more flavor.
- With this we serve mashed potatoes, peas, my special turnip/carrot mash, cranberry sauce, and Polish rye or sisal bread. Of course, the gravy, too!
TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING TURKEY STUFFING / DRESSING
Never enjoyed stuffing/dressing until the day before I got married in November 1978! My in-laws threw a big Thanksgiving Day feast (a day late) for our wedding rehearsal dinner for about 30 of us. MIL made this recipe, and it made a believer out-a me! And...29 years later, I'm still making it, and all seven of my children are stuffing/dressing lovers--in fact, I think they'd eat it for breakfast all year long if I'd make it that often! Cooking time does NOT count how long it is baked--that would depend on if you stuff the turkey or bake separately. But figure a minimum of 30 minutes if baked in a separate pan at 350.

Steps:
- Fry meats (we use a combination of burger and mild Italian sausage).
- While meat is frying, cube the bread and dump in a very large bowl; drizzle butter over bread cubes; toss cubes, then set aside.
- When meats are browned, add onions & celery; cook until tender; then pour over bread cubes, tossing again and again until well-mixed.
- Add water/milk ONLY if you like a wetter dressing--otherwise omit.
- Add seasonings according to your taste, toss again.
- Mixture can now be stuffed into the rinsed-out & salted turkey cavities (then placed immediately into oven to be roasted) -- when turkey is roasted, remove stuffing with a long-handled spoon, into a nice serving dish--it will have absorbed all that wonderful turkey pan juices---oh goodness how delicious!
- OR -- spoon into a greased casserole dish, cover and bake until JUST crispy along the edges -- about 45 minutes.
- Whatever doesn't fit into the turkey, spoon into a small casserole pan and bake along with the turkey---turns out every time.
- VARIATION #1: Sliced, fresh mushrooms when browning the meats.
- VARIATION #2: Sprinkle some cornmeal when tossing the bread with the meat---mmmm!
- VARIATION #3: Water chestnuts coarsely chopped or sliced--adds a nice crunchiness the kids love!
- SUGGESTION: Unless you have a very small family -- DOUBLE THE RECIPE -- you won't be sorry, this is EXCELLENT when reheated the next day, too.
- PICKY EATER OPTION: Saute onions & celery in a separate pan until transparent, then dump in the blender along with the melted butter---pour this over the bread cubes and meat. All the aroma & flavor, just no "yukkies" to pick out for those who "hate" onions or celery.
- LEFTOVERS (if you're lucky!): reheat in the microwave.
