For our Thanksgiving dinner, this moist golden-brown stuffed turkey is a treasured tradition. My grandmother used this recipe...and now my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren enjoy turkey with us in the same savory way! -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana Ingredients:
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds) |
6 cups water |
3/4 cup egg substitute |
2 pounds day-old white bread, cubed and toasted |
2 medium onions, chopped |
2 celery ribs, chopped |
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon rubbed sage |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
6 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/2 to 1 tablespoon paprika |
gravy: |
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules |
2 cups boiling water |
5 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Remove giblets from turkey. In a saucepan, bring water, giblets and neck to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until tender. Remove giblets with a slotted spoon; dice. Set aside 3 cups cooking liquid. In a bowl, combine egg substitute, bread crumbs, onions, celery, giblets, poultry seasoning, salt, sage and pepper. Add reserved cooking liquid; mix well. Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with about 8 cups stuffing. Place remaining stuffing in a greased 2-qt. baking dish; refrigerate. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush with butter; sprinkle with paprika.
2. Bake uncovered, at 325° for 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180° for turkey and 165° for stuffing, basting every 30 minutes (cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly). Bake additional stuffing for 35-40 minutes.
3. For gravy, dissolve bouillon in water. In a saucepan, whisk flour and 1/4 cup pan drippings until smooth. Gradually add bouillon mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Serve with turkey and stuffing. Yield: 14-16 servings.
