Savory Stuffing image

This is my father-in-law's stuffing recipe and it's always a hit around my house. I get begged to make it even when it isn't Thanksgiving! The best part is, without the oysters, it's completely vegetarian. I usually make 3 recipes: 2 for inside the turkey and one in a pan in the oven.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped fresh oyster (can be omitted)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
6 cups freshly dry bread cubes (use a mixture of white, wheat, and bagels)
1 teaspoon salt (if using canned boullion that is salted, omit the additional salt)
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Sauté celery, onion, mushrooms, and spices in butter for 5 minutes.
  • Toss bread cubes in sauté mixture.
  • Cover and cool in refrigerator overnight.
  • Loosely stuff in the front neck cavity and back end of turkey.
  • Allow about 1 cup of stuffing for each pound of turkey.
  • If you prefer to cook the stuffing separate from the bird, place in a casserole dish (glass or metal).
  • Cook at 350 for 45-50 minutes, basting frequently with stock.
  • WATCH IT! It will burn easily.
