Categories     Christmas

Time 1h15m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 ounce) box corn flakes
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth, and enough water to moisten (but if broth has sodium in it use no salt in the seasoning)

Steps:

  • Cook and stir onion and celery in butter in 10 to 12 inch skillet until onion is just translucent and tender (NOT carmelized). Stir in about 1/3 of the Corn Flakes. Turn into a deep bowl. Add remaining ingredients; toss.
  • Stuff turkey just before roasting.
  • Do NOT overstuff the bird.
  • You may well have too much to fit in the cavity of the bird. Freeze extra or place in casserole along side of the bird.
  • STUFFING BALLS: Shape stuffing by 1/2 cupfuls into balls; place in greased baking dish. Cover and cook in 325 degree F oven 30 minutes. Uncover and cook 15 minutes longer. 10 Stuffing Balls.
  • Tip for freezing for Thanksgiving/Christmas:.
  • NOTE: The unbaked stuffing mixture will freeze great in containers or freezer bags to serve later. To reheat: Thaw and bake it in a greased dish, (rather than in the bird)at 350°F until golden brown on top. Don't overbake!
