God bless The Food Channel for bringing into our homes creative cooking
and interesting food ideas. But one thing that has ticked me off about them every
Holiday is that they have an avowed disdain for stuffing a turkey! They claim that
by stuffing a turkey you have the chance of inviting salmonella poisoning to your
T-Day fun.
OK....Has ANYONE out there that you know of ever been poisoned by stuffing?
Does anyones stuffing go un-consumed after a meal for any length of time?
Right....Just as I thought.
Last Friday's Flash 55 crowd did an EXCELLENT job of sharing their JFK and
'other' memorable life changing moments with us all. It was so much fun that I thought
we would give it another go with sharing YOUR family's stuffing recipe', I'll start....
Then night before break up by hand two loaves of bread and let it dry out in the oven
overnight.
In a frying pan scramble up two pounds of savory sage breakfast sausage and set aside.
In a sauce pan boil two chopped onions and 4 stalks of celery sliced thin in about two
cups of chicken or turkey broth.
When transluscent dump both the onion/celery pan (without draining) and the sausage
pan ( grease and all ) into the bread crumbs, and mix well.
Season to taste with rubbed sage and stuff your bird!!!
As of late I have been taking the unused stuffing, making them into snowball sized portions
and baking them in a buttered muffin pan. They get a wonderful crispy coating that is
to die for....(But not from salmonella)
