This is an essential part of our Christmas tradition. Bread stuffing tastes drab and spongey in comparison. Ingredients:
2 cooking onions |
5 stalks celery |
1/2 cup butter |
5 cups oatmeal |
sage |
thyme |
garlic powder |
salt |
pepper |
1 dash nutmeg |
water, to moisten |
Directions:
1. Dice onion and celery.
2. Melt butter in a large frying pan or sauce pan.
3. Add onion and celery and saute until soft.
4. Add oatmeal and seasonings. My mom uses poutry seasoning and that is really nice too.
5. Stir until well mixed.
6. Moisten with water until clumpy.
7. Gently pack into the turkey cavity bottom and top.
8. Roast the bird as you would with bread stuffing. It smells wonderful.
9. You can also make this as a side dish if you steam it in the pan. Made like that, it's called scurly.
