Vegetarian Turkey Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine boiling water and bouillon cube; stir until dissolved.
• Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low to low heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, sage, marjoram, and pepper, then pour in dissolved bouillon.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then remove pan from the heat. Gently stir in bread cubes. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in parsley, sage, marjoram, tarragon and salt. Mix bread cubes, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms in large bowl. Add celery mixture; toss.
• Fill wishbone area of turkey with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly with stuffing. (Place any remaining stuffing in small ungreased baking dish; cover and refrigerate. Place in oven with turkey the last 30 minutes of roasting.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
• Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone.
• Roast uncovered 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours or until thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer inserted in center of stuffing should read 165°F.When two-thirds done, cut band of skin or string holding legs. Place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden brown. Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining turkey and stuffing separately.

Steps:

• The day before you make the stuffing, place the bread cubes on a sheet pan and leave them out overnight, uncovered, to dry out. Alternately, you can place them on a sheet pan and bake at 275 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until the bread cubes are dry at the surface, but still soft in the center.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Place the pecans on a sheet pan and transfer to the oven. Roast for 4 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oven, chop finely and set aside.
• Heat the butter in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onion is clear. Reduce the heat to low. Add the sage, thyme and parsley, and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
• Add the bread to the skillet and 2 1/2 cups broth. Gently fold everything together, so the bread soaks up the broth. Fold in the pecans. Taste, and season the stuffing with salt and black pepper. (Vegan butter is usually salted, so the amount of salt you need will depend on the butter you use and how salty your broth is.)
• Transfer all of the ingredients to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup broth over the top. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the casserole and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is just beginning to brown. Serve.

Steps:

• Mix together the bread, cream of mushroom soup, vegetable broth, water, poultry seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Add any or all of the optional ingredients as desired. It will be sticky. Shape into a loaf and wrap in (nonstick, sprayed) foil to bake.
• Bake for about an hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can slice it like a meatloaf and serve.
