How will you be preparing your stuffing this Thanksgiving?

@mnljh711986 Жыл бұрын

I prep my stuffing a day before, first I prepare homemade chicken broth using two whole chickens, I use both the broth and chicken for my stuffing, french baguettes for the bread cubed and toasted, celery and onion sauteed in butter with my herbs which I also use for making the broth too ( fresh thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, and parsley), I saute fresh mushrooms in butter, and I add roasted chestnuts. Then the day I cook the turkey I combine all the ingredients together and bake my stuffing in a casserole dish beside my turkey, I put it in the oven an hour and a half before dinner.

"Stuffing" in this day and age is a symbolic name for what used to be cooked inside the turkey itself. I'm from the camp that had a mom that knew what she was doing in the cooking process and we never got more than over filled by the meal and stuffing was cooked in the bird. I believe as the number of people joined us she made more on the side.

I agree! My seven brothers & sisters would concur.

Great tips that I follow, I use day old bread usually an Italian or French bread loaf , sausage and cubed granny Smith apples plus sautéed celery, onions and garlic , and plenty of butter and turkey broth , I always add the broth a little at a time to just the right consistency, the dressing is a meal on its own , damn I just made myself hungry

I typically will doctor up the Stove Top stuffing mix, by adding chopped-up leftovers from the turkey aromatics (like apple chunks & celery) or pantry ingredients (like raisins or dried minced onion) to the water & butter in the saucepan. This moistens those fruit & vegetable ingredients before I stir in the stuffing crumbs, without taking any extra time.

I don't understand why "stuffing" shouldn't be "stuffed" in the bird. It's in the oven so long, you're not going to get sick from it.

I make pasta Carbonara all the time with uncooked eggs. I’ve never gotten sick, nor have my family and friends. It’s the only way to serve it. I would eat a raw egg everyday if it is served like this! By the way, my Mom is 76 years old and she loves my Carbonara!

My secret is to include chopped cabbage. It's flavor goes really well with turkey, and it adds tasty moisture. I don't pre-cook it. Cabbage makes up about half the veg. ingredients. I also use sausage, definitely pre-cooked. The stuffing bowl is always empty when the meal is done.

If you cook it in a dish on the side it's dressing not stuffing.

It's a side dish.

Because it is both,,, You make stuffing from scratch and Stuff it inside the Cavity of the bird of choice.... It also was made as a side dish... This was in the old days,,, BEFORE the boxed that is offered today,,,, 😊

@pennyschuerch2806 Жыл бұрын

I have been cooking turkey with stuffing for 40 years. I break a part my bread, add Bell seasoning and onions and I stuff the bird cavity. There is no other way.

Never use boxed or bagged bread crumbs, you can use fresh bread which is my preference but dont over liquif it it takes 45 min max to cook the trick is also to fluff it up once it's being tabled to release the steam to avoid moisture.

The biggest mistake when making stuffing is adding garlic to it, garlic shouldn't be in stuffing at all!

@BootyTate Жыл бұрын

Why? Mine actually doesn't have garlic in the recipe but I can't see it harming anything.

@mnljh711986 Жыл бұрын

@@BootyTate I suppose it does depend upon your own specific taste, so in that, it is entirely subjective, with that being said though the primary flavor that gives stuffing its distinctive taste is the sauteed celery and onion, with the herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, and parsley), when you put garlic it alters it, it makes it totally different and can overpower the other flavors that should be the main focus, I'm an amazing cook and have been doing it for well over 33 years now, and there are recipes that call for lots of garlic and recipes that are better off without it, so I'm not against garlic, I just don't think its called for in old fashioned traditional Thanksgiving food. But you do you, if you're happy using it then by all means.

@BootyTate Жыл бұрын

@@mnljh711986 no, I don't use garlic in my recipe. I'm familiar with traditional sage stuffing. It's what my family and I have always made. We use a specific sausage, as well. It doesn't call for garlic. I was just curious why you thought it was a huge mistake.

I am from a long line of excellent home cooks. I can tell you that this dressing/stuffing is really not appealing at all! Especially for Thanksgiving.
