Turkey Stuffing

[Sandy]

  I moved this to recipes, I posted it in the wrong place at first.

  Lisa, I can tell you whats in it but how much of each thing,
I just don't know, because I just throw it together.
I don't know if this is much help.
I am going to dig thru some of my grandma's cook books
to see if I can find some kind of receipe.

My Stuffing:

Bread crumbs (I usually safe the crusts or any leftover bread
and break it into small pieces)
Margarine (depends on how much stuffing you make).
Onions, chopped (usually 1 large onion is enough)
Celery -  chopped ( probably 2 or 3 stocks of celery)
The liver from the turkey cut in tiny pieces (optional)
Poultry seasoning ( I don't like sage in it)
Hot water (boiling water) - enough to make it moist.
Salt & pepper to taste.
I break up the bread crumbs into tiny pieces,
then I mix in onions, celery, liver, and margarine
and pour boiling water over it.
Mix it up good and stuff the bird.
( I usually put the giblets( heart and gizzard) in the bird after it's stuffed.

If I want extra stuffing, I make a larger recipe from the above
I wrap it in tin foil and I usually stick the turkeky neck in with it.

I hope that is of some help.

I was going to buy a stuffed-turkey this year, but the only ones they had in the store were HUGE.  Instead I bought a smaller turkey and then got this frozen stuffing that you either cook in the microwave or thaw the night before and put in the turkey.

I like easy!!

I like easy too but honestly, the home made stuff is sooooooooo much better!

Sandy, thanks a bunch for posting the various recipes-I am seeing a trend with them all, you need the seasonings, bread crumbs, water and margarine though I am not so sure that I want turkey liver in my stuffing...lol.

I can't wait to see what it tastes like!!

   You don't have to do the liver thing. A lady I know used to do that, but she cut it up so tiny that you didn't know it was there. Believe me it's a pain to chop it up, I don't do it very often, because it's such a pain, and I hate any kind of liver.( that's the only way I'll eat it is chopped fine so I can't taste it.

That's funny, because the only place I have had stuffing that was NOT homemade was the stove top stuffing I had at Lisa's one Thanksgiving!  LOL.

I'm going to give this frozen stuff a try and see how it turns out.
