Categories     side-dish

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 sleeves saltine crackers
2 stalks celery
1 cup butter
1 medium onion
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • With crackers still in their sleeves, crush up with your hands (easier to crush this way, and it keeps your hands cleaner). Place crushed crackers in large bowl.
  • In a frying pan, saute the butter and onion until the onion are tender, about 5 minutes. Chop celery into small pieces and add to the crackers. Add cooked onions and butter to the crackers; mix well.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add milk a little at a time (you might not use all of the milk), until the cracker mix is moistened.
  • Cracker mix should form a ball which you can hold in your hand. Use to stuff a 12-pound turkey. When stuffing a turkey this does not expand, so you want to pack it in tight. When the turkey is ready, you pull out the stuffing in one big chunk and slice it. Great on a turkey sandwich the next day!

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!
