Stuffing for My Jewish Friends image

I invited one of my friends to Thanksgiving dinner, and although it's not a big deal to her, I want to do my best to adhere to her dietary needs. I will NOT use the liver dressing when my Jewish friends come to dinner!*

Time 6h30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 ounce turkey fat
4 onions (medium diced)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
8 slices whole wheat bread
8 slices white bread (making sure that there is no milk or butter)
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon sage
1 turkey liver (*)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup water (more or less)

Steps:

  • Spread slices of bread on tray and put in 200 degree oven until no longer soft, but do not let them get hard.
  • Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes and put into large bowl.
  • Saute onions, and celery in turkey fat over medium heat until translucent.
  • Add herbs, salt, and pepper to bread and toss.
  • Saute liver (in separate pan) lightly, until slightly firm.*.
  • Add onions and celery to bowl and toss again.
  • Sprinkle in water until moist, but not wet.
  • Set aside 1 cup of dressing.
  • Cut liver into small bits and add to the 1 cup of dressing.*.
  • Use the main dressing for the main cavity of the bird, put what does not fit into a casserole to cook for all the dressing lovers.
  • Put the liver dressing into the neck cavity of the bird, and fold skin under securing with a skewer. In our house we call this "The Neck Dressing", and we all know what that means -- we are all as passionate about that as we are about the rutabagas, some love it, some hate it.* I do not use the liver dressing when my Jewish friends come to dinner!
