Caramelized Onion And Chestnut Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Add sage and scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the cornbread pieces, season well with salt and pepper, and give it a good toss until it's well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour that over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together and stuff the cavity of the turkey. You could also spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven along with the turkey. Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread bread cubes in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; cool.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté 10 minutes. Add rosemary; sauté until onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes longer. Add celery and sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chestnuts and stir to blend. Transfer onion mixture to medium bowl. Mix in parsley. Add broth to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add to onion mixture. (Bread and onion mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Store bread at room temperature; refrigerate onion mixture.) Stir onion mixture into bread. Season with salt and pepper. Mix eggs into stuffing.
• To bake stuffing in turkey:
• Loosely fill main cavity with cool stuffing. Butter glass baking dish. Spoon remaining stuffing into prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake stuffing in dish alongside turkey until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• To bake all of stuffing in baking dish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread bread cubes in single layer on a large baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a large, heavy frying pan, melt the butter over medium high heat.
• When hot, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
• About 20 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the mushrooms and celery.
• Cook and stir until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add this mixture to the bread cubes along with the parsley and tarragon.
• Add the stock to the pan you used to cook the onions, and bring to a boil scraping up any browned pieces.
• Add hot stock to the bread mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Mix in the eggs.
• Either stuff the turkey and bake as usual or butter a 13X9 pan and spoon stuffing into pan.
• Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
• I think this is better baked in a pan by itself than stuffed into the turkey-- but to each his own!

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet; sauté onion and celery until soft. Add mushrooms and chestnuts and continue to sauté until mushroom are slightly crisp. Add potato and carrot until heated through.
• Place bread in a large bowl. Add mushroom mixture and spices; mix well. Add vegetable stock and stir.
• Spoon mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 375F for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool then slice and serve with your Holiday dinner.
