A recipe of my girlfriends, made at her house for a Christmas dinner a few years back...an excellent recipe for a stuffing, that is prepared to cook inside the turkey. Note cooking time depends on how long the turkey is cooked, I imagine that you could bake this outside the turkey also too. This recipe can be doubled if desired. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (optional) |
4 -5 cups diced bread |
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/2 cup chicken stock (more if needed) |
1 cup chopped toasted pecans |
2 ounces fresh sage, chopped fine |
2 ounces fresh thyme, chopped fine (or 1-2 tsp dried, or to taste) |
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, to taste (1 cup measured after chopping) |
1/2 cup dried cranberries (can use more) |
1 eggs or 1 egg white |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a frypan, melt butter, saute onion and garlic until soft (not brown), about 5 minutes.
2. Add in the bread cubes and herbs, stirring to combine.
3. Stir in apples, wine, stock, pecans, cranberries and parsley (if the mixture seems too dry add in just a bit more stock, not too much!).
4. Cool to almost room temperature.
5. Add in egg or egg whites.
6. Season well with salt and lots of pepper.
7. Stuff into the turkey.
