You must choose whether to stuff or not to stuff this Thanksgiving. [rd-video id=”820141″ /] Traditional turkey stuffing is important, and many people believe that dinner wouldn’t be the same without it. Others assert that stuffing is unsafe and that by the time it reaches the proper temperatures, the turkey will have overcooked and become dry. So what gives, should you only make pan-roasted stuffing or is there a safe way to stuff a turkey? S. These are the best places to order turkey for Thanksgiving.
How to Bake Stuffing INSIDE the Turkey
Follow the instructions above, but omit adding the broth. Combine all the ingredients and toss to coat the bread cubes.
Open the turkey’s legs and stuff it to the brim with stuffing. Squish and squeeze it really tight in there!.
PRO TIP: Check your packaging of your turkey. It might have the neck and giblets inside the bird’s cavity. If so, take them out before placing the bread stuffing inside the cavity.
Do I bake the stuffing inside or outside the turkey?
Really both methods work just fine! But in my opinion, if you are baking a turkey, I 100% recommend stuffing it! The natural and organic flavors that comes from the bread baking with all the delicious salty turkey flavor is incredible!
Heres what you need to do for each method.
In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, salt, cranberries, apple, and pecans. Add the sausage mixture. Add the broth to the stuffing gradually until it’s all moist.
Make sure the stuffing has enough moisture, and if necessary, add more broth. Walnuts may be substituted for the pecans. Mild sausage may be used in lieu of spicy.
Bake for 25 minutes. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is browned, after removing the foil. Serve immediately for best flavor.
A double batch of stuffing can be prepared, with half of it cooked inside the bird and the other half cooked outside, to ensure there are enough servings during the holidays. Knowing how to make stuffing this way is helpful because deep-frying turkeys has become more and more popular. With this method of cooking, vegetarians can still enjoy stuffing without consuming meat.
Add sausage, onion, poultry seasoning and celery to the skillet. About 8 to 10 minutes, cook sausage on medium heat until no longer pink.
