Can someone tell me how to prepare the typical Christmas stuffing for the turkey in a simple way?

Question

We are looking for a recipie to prepare a traditional turkey in a simple and easy way. We do not have much experience preparing the stuffing and we have seen so many different ways which it is confusing and difficult to decide which one is the better one.

Answer 1

In order to give your turkey that extra flavour on Christmas Day, it is quite important that you make home-made stuffing. It’s really quite simple, cheap and it doesn’t take that much time - honestly! The quantities are dependant on the size of your bird but don’t be afraid to experiment - that’s what cooking is all about!

Ingredients
White bread- ½ loaf
Fresh sage- a rough handful
Onion - 1
Eggs - 2
Pepper - touch
Cranberry jelly - ½ jar

1. Roughly chop (or blend if you possess a blender) the bread (crust ‘n’ all) sage or herb of your choice.
2. Finely dice the onion
3. Mix all the ingredients together
4. That’s it. I told you it was simple.

Alternatives to this dish can be made by adding the meat from inside a sausage or adding peeled fresh apricots to the mix. Please experiment!

The age-old argument about whether you should stuff a bird or not, is always up in the air. If you are going to stuff a bird you must ensure that the bird is thoroughly cooked before serving. Any risk comes from the blood inside the bird seeping into the stuffing.

If you do like the flavour that the juices give the stuffing, then cook the bird, carve the meat off and put the stuffing in either the microwave or oven until piping hot.

Answer 2

The way we make stuffing is quick, easy and good. Take a large pan and tear up 2 loaves of white bread. In a food processor chop 2 medium onions and a like amount of celery. In a big skillet fry 2 rolls of hot sausage, breaking into small pieces as it cooks. After the sausage is about half way cooked add the onions and celery to the sausage and cover, cooking about 20 minutes on low heat. The sausage/onion/celery mixture will get real juicy. After it cools down some, pour it into the bread pan and mix well. That's it! The hot sausage makes the flavor perfect! Stuff your bird, and if you have any leftover save it for stuffed pork chops or just a nice side dish. Good luck!

Answer 3

The first thing you have to decide is whether you are going to use oatmeal stuffing or sausage stuffing.

It is actually easier to just shove a peeled lemon into the cavity of your turkey and cook the stuffing outside of the bird as it actually slows down the cooking of the bird if it is stuffed.

There are loads of recipes for stuffing so I'm sure you'll find something you like but don't feel you have to put it in the bird. My local organic butcher sells the sausage one already done which is much better than anything I could make anyway.
