Thanksgiving Recipe #3 - Homemade Stuffing!

Hey everyone! For my third Thanksgiving themed recipe, I will show you how we make stuffing on Thanksgiving at my house. We don't cheat when it comes to stuffing the turkey and it is so worth the extra time!

To stuff the turkey and have left overs, you will need:

4 loaves of bread
1 head of celery
1 large red onion
4 sticks of butter
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 tablespoons thyme

Begin by toasting up your bread and breaking it into small bite sized pieces.

Using a food processor, chop up your celery and onion.

In a pan, melt your butter and add in your celery and onion. Let this cook down for about 20-30 minutes.

Add your poultry seasoning and thyme and let cook for another 5 minutes.

Sprinkle some additional seasoning over your bread crumbs.

Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the onion, celery mixture from your pan. Use the moisture from the celery and onions to bring your stuffing together.  Start slow, and add more if your stuffing is too dry. Once you add too much butter - you can't really go back and fix it.

 

When stuffing your turkey, take your stuffing and gently pack it into the turkey. Put tin foil on any stuffing that is popping out so it doesn't burn, and cooke the turkey as directed.

If you have excess, bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

 Serve with gravy and enjoy!! Look out for one last Thanksgiving themed post before the holidays!
