turkey Stuffing for thanksgiving or christmas
Yes yes, you can buy ready mix stuffing,but it is just not the same as homemade stuffing for your turkey at christmas
Chestnut stuffing – Ingredients
large tin of chestnut Puree
I egg
I onion (chopped and sauted)
2-3 slices of wholemeal bread ground to breadcrumbs
knob of butter
Method
Mix all together and add to the front of the turkey
Force meat or sausage-meat stuffing – Ingredients
1 large packet of sausage-meat
3 slices of bread ground for breadcrumbs
1 egg
the zest of half a lemon
a large bunch of fresh herbs, parsley sage and thyme, finely chopped
Method
add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together
add to the neck end of the turkey and secure the skin over with a skewer, this part may need to be covered with foil during cooking to stop burning.
I also like to force this stuffing under the skin of the bird at the neck end so some of it goes over the breast of the bird and creates a way of keeping the breast basted and moist
