My Moms Best Pa Dutch Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in the bread, potatoes and parsley. Spoon into a greased 1-qt. casserole. , Bake, uncovered, until top is lightly browned, 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Finely chop the onion and celery.
• Saute onion and celery in butter.
• Add bread cubes, beaten eggs, chicken broth, salt and pepper.
• Add mashed potatoes.
• Bake in a casserole dish for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl place the bread cubes. I use 1 loaf of white bread & cube it myself but bought bread cubes are fine. I just like to do it myself!
• 2. In another large glass bowl place onion, celery & butter. Cover & microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir & recover, cook 3 more minutes or until celery is soft.Dump this into your bread cubes & stir. Add seasonings & stir again.
• 3. Beat eggs & beat in the milk, you might not need a whole cup of milk it really depends on your bread. So start with just 1/2 a cup beaten in with the eggs. If bread needs more moisture slowly add more milk right into your stuffing mixture, you want very moist wet bread but NOT SOUP see picture. So start with all the eggs & 1/2 of the milk add this to your bread & stir until combined. You may add pepper to taste but i do not care for pepper so I leave it out. Now you may stuff your poultry & roast according to the birds package direction. Or grease a 9x13 pan , pat stuffing into the pan & bake uncovered 1 hour at 350 degrees.
• 4. This recipe is on my Blog at http://recipesforjudysfoodies.blogspot.com/

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine the bag of bread cubes with Pepperidge Farm herbed seasoned stuffing.
• 2. In a frying pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sautée onions, green pepper, and celery (or celery seed) until all is softened and translucent.
• 3. Pour melted butter and vegetables over all bread cubes and crumbs.
• 4. Mix in the two beaten eggs. Toss.
• 5. Add: 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning 2 Tbsp Dried Parsley 1 Tsp Oregano Toss again.
• 6. Now pour chicken broth over all of the mixture making sure that stuffing is ALMOST wet. You want it to be more than damp, but not downright wet so that stuffing doesn't dry out while inside turkey baking. (You can judge if stuffing is becoming too wet, just reserve the rest of the broth if not needed. Many people like to use milk, but I find that it causes it to have a bland flavor. The chicken broth is the secret to excellent flavor, here.)
• 7. Toss once again, making sure all bread is well coated with all ingredients.
• 8. Stuff the turkey, packing tightly, but not too tightly (as in "don't really jam it in there") at both ends. (If you have any leftover, you can put it in a casserole dish, and refrigerate until 45 minutes before turkey is done, then put in the oven with turkey for extra stuffing.)
• 9. Use softened butter and, using fingers, rub butter all over turkey until coated. Then shake a little paprika over the top of the entire turkey.
• 10. Put about 2 tablespoons flour inside the baking bag before putting the turkey inside. Push turkey into the bag. Close bag tightly. Make three slits across the top of the bag for ventilation and put it into a roaster pan.
• 11. Put the lid on the roaster. Then bake following instructions for the size turkey you have. (**Note: the baking bag will probably cut baking time by at least 3/4 hr to 1 hour, but really holds in the juices and turkey stays very moist and juicy.) No basting is required when you use the baking bag, but if you wish, you can baste one or two times during baking.
• 12. **Note** Be sure to remember to make the slits in the top of the baking bag, maybe an inch or two long, and be sure to put the little bit of flour into the bottom of the bag before you put the turkey inside. When finished, you will have an ample supply of broth inside the bag to make your gravy. Simply use a cup or ladle to scoop it all out. (What broth I don't need, I always put into a plastic container and freeze to use when I make my chicken soups. I add it into the pot of soup and it gives my soups added extra special flavor!)

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender; drain. Place in large bowl and mash with 4 tbsp butter, milk and chicken stock.
• While potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet over med-high heat, melt 3/4 cup butter; add chopped celery, onion, and parsley; sautee until tender -- about 7-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and add the toasted bread cubes. Cook, stirring frequently, for another 4-5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and fold into the mashed potato mixture. Fold in the beaten eggs and stir everything together well.
• Pour into a greased/sprayed 13" x 9" (or larger) pan. Cover and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until lightly browning on top.
• Serve.
