couscous seasoned with pepper, oregano, salt, chicken bouillon
chopped pecans
diced onion
i usually leave a large orange peel inside to give it real good flavor and so it can be removed from the stuffing easily |

There are so many possibilities.
The basics for a bread stuffing are.. dry bread or cornbread, diced onion, celery, and moistening ingredient like turkey broth - herbs ( parsley, sage, thyme ) , salt pepper.
To this you can be creative with other ingredients - like giblets, dried cranberries, apples, chestnuts, sausage or oysters.
If you put the stuffing into the bird raw, you need to make sure the internal temp in all areas of the stuffing goes over 165 degree F. |

^ and i am so glad (with the exception of one poster) that it is what it is... relieved may be a better word... 
sausage stuffing! it's the best!
but whatever you do, be sure to use chicken broth in place of water, only real butter and omit mushrooms til the end.
(and if you are behind on the cooking and the guests are arriving, simply saute some onions and garlic in butter... they will think everything is delicious from that point on)
gobble! gobble! |

Beg to differ....you need to sautee the mushroms to get the water out.
With you on the butter and chicken stock....
Saute Italian sausage (removed from casings) until ligghtly browned and crumbled. Remove from pot and place on paper towels to blot up the extra oil.
Same pot with the sausage brwonings and oil...add more butter, saute onions until soft, add mushrooms. saute until mushrooms have given up all their water. Remove from pot and drain excess oil.
Seasoned Bread stuffing of your choice. (Pepperidge Farm...Too lazy to make myself!) Combine with heated chicken stock. Add onions, sausage, mushrooms. Half cup of raisins. Season to taste. (Sage for me!)
Clean the bird's cavity....(Traditionally I dance around the kitchen with the bird on my fist. Do the "Turkey Dance" in homage to the sacrifice he made....have usually been drinking red wine for at least an hour at thi point)
Season the cavity lightly with sea salt and pepper.
Stuff both ends....not too tightly or you end up with either an exploded bird, or really dense stuffing....Put any extra in an oven proof casserole. Cook seperately for those heathens that do not like the stuffing from the bird. Remove them from consideration for next years thanksgiving Dinner...they do not get it.
Truss using toothpicks and string.
Olive oil and melted butter coating on the skin.
Baste every half hour with chicken stock while cooking....
(Cover any parts that brown too quickly with aluminum foil.)
Meat thermometer hits 170-175F....Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest at least an hour before removing the stuffing and carving.
C'mon Sunday!!!! (working Thurday....) |

It does not really make the bird taste any better....but used to always freak out the relatives who were visiting....which is always a "good thing". |

I put handfuls of fresh herbs and lemon rinds in the bird (makes for incredibly tender and moist turkey) and make a separate Sage-walnut "dressing" with bread cubes, bacon, dried cherries etc. Delicious. My father has to have a separate cornbread dressing with giblet gravy (barf, I make my mother cook that). |

^ Yes you can. If you do, make it a little "wetter" and cook covered at first, or it will dry out. It will not be as moist or flavorful as from inside the bird, but can-lah.

i dance around with the turkey too! just for a second when no one is looking...
p1atl10... that's exactly how i make the stuffing, but even though i have used sauted mushrooms, i don't care for the flavor or texture they provide. and i adore mushrooms! but maybe i'll give it a go this year on half the oven-baked stuffing...
i've got a great recipe for porcinni potatoes... yum!!!!!!!! if you like mushrooms and cooking this is to die for!
the day after tomorrow is turkey day! yay!!!! |

Yowser! Excellent.

Sorry, didn't see this sooner. Yes, I cook it outside the bird in a casserole pan, covered. |

I've always cooked my "dressing" outside the bird. It's only called stuffing if it is stuffed into the bird. Anyway, must deep fry my turkey. Have been doing that for the past five years now. Landlady bought a useless piece of sh*t oven that doesn't get hot enough to roast anything. Took two hours to bake a few small potatoes! We'd end up dead of bacterial food poisoning if I had to cook a turkey in it for several hours.
Best dressing I ever had was made from cubed day-old bread and crushed saltines. I cook the onions, celery, carrots, garlic and parsely in butter and then simmer with chicken or turkey broth for 30 minutes. Then pour over the bread/crackers. I sometimes add dried fruit. Apricots, cranberries and walnuts are really nice additions. Sausage is, too. The spicier the sausage, the better. |
