Turkey Stuffing Recipe

Leona Said:

SO can i have your turkey recipe? and your stuffing recipe too?

We Answered:

Turkey washed and dry.
Poultry seasoning.
Olive oil.
Make sure turkey is thawed.
Make sure no crap remains inside.
Put dry turkey in a throw away aluminum pan.
Pour olive oil on your hand and rub turkey in and out.
Shake on poultry seasoning.
I take tree stalks of celery and three carrots and put under turkey in pan.
Oven for three hours on 325.

Now. The marriage we call it. Chop a few carrots and a few stalks of celery and an onion. Put in a pan with olive oil and sweat it good.
Fry it soft but do not crisp it. just wet and soggy.

Make two boxes of stove top stuffing as per directions.
But stir in the marriage while boiling the water.

I don't make my stuffing in the bird.
The crap that came out of the bird can be used for giblet gravy.
Many recipes on the web for that.

I take a stainless spoon and wrap a towel around my hand because I hit the top of the oven every time and scream and cuss and yell at everybody in sight while looking at the charred top of my hand.
It worked as a child to get eggs from the chickens. The towel wrap keeps me from embarrassing myself fighting with the oven that just burned my hand.

Spoon juices on the bird and keep it wet on top.
put a piece of foil on top towards the end.
I poke the thickest part with my probe and look for 170f.
My last turkey was 16 pounds and took four hours to cook.
Take it out and let the joker set for about 15 minutes before stripping the carcass.
I slice half the breast real thin and sneak it into a plastic ziplock for sandwiches later. I then let everyone attack it.

Works for me.

I've been searching for a turkey stuffing recipe that's both fairly easy AND tasty. Got any ideas?

We Answered:

Here is our family recipe and we call it dressing not stuffing here in the south. I will give you the ingredients for 4 servings and you can double or triple it depending on how many people you are feeding. This is the best ever:
One pan of cooked cornbread
2-3 slices stale bread
4-5 stalks celery chopped
small onion chopped
bunch green onions chopped with green tops
Strong chicken broth (you can used canned, but it will not be as good as making your own stock by boiling a whole chicken)

Put all ingredients in a large bowl and add chicken broth one cup at a time. Mash with a potato masher until the dressing is the consistency you want. We like it juicy, some people like it dry like cornbread. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you use canned broth be careful with the salt.

Some tips for making it the best:
Use the drippings from the turkey (use a baster to suck out the juices in the pan while the turkey is cooking) as some of your liquid to make a very rich broth.
Boil the celery and onions for a few minutes in a cup of broth to made them less crunchy and add all to the bowl.
My mother likes to add boiled eggs to the dressing at the end, but I take some out before she puts them in because I hate boiled eggs, so it is a matter of choice. If you want to use boiled eggs, use about 3 chopped.
Remember the richer and tastier the broth, the better the dressing.
We do not stuff the dressing into the turkey, but put in a big pan and bake it for about 30 minutes until it is bubbly. You get more that way.
By the way, we use 4 pans of cornbread cooked in a big iron skillet from scratch by my mother, but you can use cornbread mix and use 2 packages for this recipe.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
