BETTY CROCKER'S CLASSIC BREAD TURKEY STUFFING



Betty Crocker's Classic Bread Turkey Stuffing image

This is the stuffing that my mom makes very Thanksgiving, and it's absolutely divine. The holiday just isn't the same without the taste of this dish. The day after it's cooked, it's wonderful cold, too! This recipe makes enough for a 12-pound turkey, about three quarts of stuffing.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Chicken

Time 15m

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 cups bread, cubes (Mom makes her own sometimes)
1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups chopped celery, stalks and leaves
1 cup chopped mushroom (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon ground sage
no-salt-added chicken broth (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat melt the butter, then sauté the onion and celery (and mushroom, if using) until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the salt, pepper, and sage and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Place the bread cubes into a large, deep bowl.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the butter/celery mixture over the cubes and toss well, then repeat steps until all of the butter mixture is used.
  • Toss the cubes thoroughly to coat.
  • (Regarding the optional chicken broth: for dry stuffing, add little or no liquid; for moist stuffing mix in lightly with fork just enough chicken broth to moisten dry crumbs.) Let cool and use as stuffing for the turkey.
  • We've made this stuffing in the crockpot, as well, adding the chicken broth for moistness.
  • Adapted from Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, circa 1950.
  • Note: regardling the amount of salt - yes, the amount listed above is correct and is what is listed in the original Betty Crocker recipe. When the butter mixture is first added to the bread, if you taste it at this point it might seem salty (because it is sitting right on the surface of the bread) but remember that the liquid and butter soaks into the bread and redistributes evenly. Also, this recipe, being from the 1950s, is specifically for cooking *inside* the turkey, which a lot of people no longer do, and again the salt will redistribute from the juices in the meat. If you use a crockpot for cooking your stuffing, I'd recommend reducing the amount of salt.
  • Note #2: again, regarding the salt. You're going to have to decide for yourself about the salt. Having eaten this recipe for every year of my life I know it tastes wonderful as it's written. But that's just me.

BETTY'S OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING



Betty's Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding image

This is the recipe I grew up with. It came from the 1950's "Picture Cook Book". My assembly is a bit different, though. I think it's easier. Also, you could use your microwave to heat the milk and melt the butter. Just be careful not to scramble your eggs in the hot milk. This can be served with any hard sauce, bourbon sauce or ice cream, but I like it with just a little half & half. My mom always poured milk on hers.

Provided by Laura2of7

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups bread, torn into coarse crumbs or cubed
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I use 3/4 cinnamon and 1/4 nutmeg) or 1 teaspoon nutmeg (I use 3/4 cinnamon and 1/4 nutmeg)
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • Butter the inside of a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (I use an 8" square pan.).
  • In the baking dish, place bread and raisins.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, salt and spices.
  • In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat.
  • Add sugar mixture and stir to dissolve. Allow to cool slightly and add eggs, whisking to combine.
  • Add egg mixture to bread, letting it soak in while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a knife, inserted in the center, comes out clean.

MOIST BREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING



Moist Bread Dressing or Stuffing image

An old recipe from a 1960's Good Housekeeping cookbook; this was my mom's classic stuffing recipe that everyone adores. I prefer the tidiness of dressing cooked separately from the turkey, and so I've adapted the recipe to be cooked in a casserole but still retain the moistness of a stuffing. Instructions for using it either way are included. Times are approximate, as they will depend on the temperature of the oven and how full the oven is. Yield is also approximate. Allow around 1 c stuffing per 1 lb of turkey.

Provided by Halcyon Eve

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h

Yield 16 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 quart boiling water (3 cups if using as stuffing) or 1 quart chicken broth (3 cups if using as stuffing)
turkey giblets (including neck, but excluding liver)
1 bay leaf
1 pinch salt (or to taste, may omit if using broth)
1/4 teaspoon peppercorn
1 -1 1/2 cup butter
1 cup minced onion
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup diced celery
6 quarts day-old white bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (24 cups, lightly packed, or about 1 1/2-2 loaves)
1/4 cup dry mustard
2 -3 eggs (omit for stuffing option)

Steps:

  • Bring water or broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add giblets, neck, bay leaf, salt (if using), and peppercorns, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
  • Remove bay leaf, giblets, and neck from pan. Discard bay leaf.
  • Mince giblets. Remove as much meat as possible from neck bones and mince. Add minced giblets and meat back to broth.
  • Add butter and onion to pan, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients except eggs into a very large bowl.
  • Pour giblet mixture over bread mixture and toss to mix together well.
  • For Stuffing: Stuff turkey loosely (do not pack) and roast as usual for stuffed turkey. Bake any leftover stuffing in a covered casserole alongside turkey until done, about 30-45 minutes at 350* F, depending on quantity (should be set, not wet, in the center). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey. Makes enough to stuff about a 16 lb turkey.
  • For Dressing: Mix in eggs. Transfer to one large or two smaller baking dishes. Cover tightly and bake along with turkey for about 40-45 minutes for two small dishes or about 50-60 minutes for one large dish, at 350* F or until cooked through (should be set in middle, not wet). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

What makes this version of classic chicken and dumplings extra delicious is its long and slow simmer time. While this chicken and dumplings recipe will take about three hours to cook, everything comes together in a single Dutch oven, meaning this one-pot meal will require little clean-up afterwards. The chicken, celery, carrot, onion and parsley in this dish makes for a meaty, flavorful slow-cooked broth. Using Original Bisquick™ mix to make quick dumplings not only saves time but also produces light, fluffy dumplings for the topping. Use this beloved dish as the perfect excuse to gather around the table to make new memories with your family.
