Stuffing thread

[Mikey]

Just wondering, do you (or your spouse) make homemade stuffing, or store bought ?

[Duncan]

Stove Top all the way, usually traditional flavor. We also use their cornbread stuffing for a Mexican casserole.

We use stove top stuffing mixed with spicey sausage and cheddar cheese then baked untill crispy and bubbley.She bakes them in shallow muffin pans so each one has that crunchy top.Man I can't wait untill tomorrow.

Sounds very tastie

So yous don't actually put stuffing inside your turkey ?

We use Stove Top but instead of adding water we add turkey or chicken broth from a can like you would use for soup to increase flavor.

Not true Turkey is cooked when the thigh temperature reaches 180°F on a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh next to body, not touching the bone. Move meat thermometer to the center of stuffing; temperature should be 160°F.

Let stand 15 minutes

All stuffing should be cooked before adding to bird NEVER stuff uncooked and leave overnight.....you will get everybody and their mother sick

My mom always made a stuffed bird and we never got sick.

Today though, I probably wouldn't do it -- just to be safe.

Guessing traditional stuffing is too bland for a Cuban's (and most Spanish countries) tastes.

[JediJaida]

My Mom's stuffing is anything but bland!

She uses Park's Hot Sausage, ground beef, croutons, celery and a smidge of seasonings.

Believe me, it ain't bland!

For Thanksgiving, when we had it one year, I made homemade stuffing. I stuffed the Turkey with some of it and baked the rest. It was the first time that I had made it from scratch. It turned out really good.

Throughout the Fall and Winter, if I'm in the mood for it, I make some Stove-Top Stuffing.

in the bird.

just don't let it rest there. Move it out of the cavity and reheat before serving.

It's Stove Top for me as well!

Home done all the way - I just finished doing my first of three Thanksgiving dinners earlier!


For me its: Dried cornbread/wheat bread/grain bread + rendered onions, celery, and green apples + turkey stock + pecans + seasonings.

Over the course of the next two days, I will be churning-out multiple pounds of:

Candied yams, casseroles, vegetables, relish trays, deviled eggs, cornish hens, fruit trays, mashed pots., gravies, fruit pies and tarts, hams, dressings, various pastas, breads, etc etc....

Try this for your cranberry relish: Steam the berries a bit in a little sugar water until they begin to POP. Then, toss in about a half cup of water and a half cup of orange juice. Throw in a cinnamon stick, a half cup of brown sugar, and a squirt of honey. Let this compote simmer DOWN for a half hour or so on LOW - it's great stuff if you love sweet & tart relishes or chutneys!

Take care and have a good holiday for those that celebrate -
