Family Recipe: MIL's Turkey Stuffing

My mother in law makes the best stuffing. Actually, I am not a real expert on stuffings as my family is a dressing kind of family and relies on Stove Top to satisfy our need for Thanksgiving tradition. It took me a few years to develop a taste for stuffing. Now I prefer it. Every year, my MIL stays up the night before Thanksgiving cutting up bread into cubes, slicing celery, and chopping walnuts.





Recipe:

4 cups dry bread cubes

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/4 tsp pepper

sage to taste

1/4 tsp poultry seasoning

1/3 cup melted butter

chopped cooked giblets

chicken broth/stock to moisten

Combine all ingredients with enough broth to moisten. Toss gently to gently mix. Allow 1 cup stuffing for each pound of turkey. Stuff your turkey and cook accordingly. Bake a separate dish full, too, because it is just so darn good.



Cooking Tip: I have a nifty tool called a Roasting Wand (by Practical Innovations, Inc) that fits through the stuffing, through the entire turkey which allows for reduced cooking time and even cooking. I highly recommend it!
