Turkey Stuffing? Your Fave

[kitchen]

My mom gave me 2 turkey recipes.

The first recipe for the turkey has fried rice, ham, luncheon meat, egg in the stuffing. The turkey is seasoned with soya sauce. It is a more asian style turkey.

The second recipe for the turkey has bread crumbs, milks, sausage, bacon, butter, pepper and salt in the stuffing. The turkey is seasoned with salt, pepper, Oregano leaves, soya sauce, butter and chicken stock. It is a more traditional turkey.

There is going to be just 1 turkey at the meal. Which would be a better choice?

I'd go for the second one, Kitchen.
I've never tried soy sauce on a turkey...I usually just rub them down with olive oil, salt, pepper & sage.

my turkey has an herbed bread crum base, but contains wild rice, pecans, sausage, and the usual veggies chopped. It's always a winner, and makes a great stuffing patty fried up with left overs another day, so I always make extra.

I am not a fan of ham, luncheon, or egg so my vote is for the second choice. I think as Asian inspired turkey could be quite good though. I think soy sauce would work well with turkey meat.

I dont stuff for safety reasons ... but I would vote for #2, even though I love asian food.

Make SURE your stuffing has come to 165 degrees before you eat it. If it hasn't when the turkey is done, then take the stuffing out and bake it til it comes to temp.

Wild rice, pecans and veggies? Sounds really good. How do you do that stuffing?

i vote for the second of the two.

I voted for number two!

If you like dressing when you haven't baked a turkey...here is my dressing recipe. If you do have the broth...just substitute it for the butter.


DRESSING



DISOLVE 1/4 CUP CHICKEN BASE IN 1 QUART WATER



TOAST 1 POUND WHITE BREAD AND PROCESS IN FOOD PROCESSOR OR CRUMBLE BY HAND. (I HAVE MADE THIS WITHOUT TOASTING TOO…AND HAVE LIKED IT JUST AS WELL. BUT UNTOASTED-IT IS EASIER IF YOU CUT THE BREAD INTO SMALL CUBES WITH SCISSORS.)



IN MICROWAVE: COOK FOR SIX MINUTES



1 CUP DICED CELERY

1 CUP DICED ONION

1 STICK MARGARINE OR BUTTER



MIX THIS TOGETHER WITH THE CRUMBLED BREAD AND CHICKEN BROTH

ADD:

2 TEASPOONS PEPPER

1 TABLESPOON PARSLEY

1 TABLESPOON SUGAR


BAKE 20-30 MINUTES @ 350 OR UNTIL NICELY BROWNED.

Thanks. I copied that down to try out one day. Looks yummy.

I make my own cornbread dressing, from scratch. I shudder when I think about stuffing a bird. I'm to worried about salmonella.

Years ago, I went on a binge for stuffing recipes (I do this quite frequently, looking for different recipes). I must have around 50 or so. Just about anything you could think of. Anyone want a recipe?
