THE BEST STUFFING
There's something for everyone in our festive stuffing. It's filled with satisfying ingredients like sausage and mushrooms, plus classic Thanksgiving flavors like onion, celery and lots of chopped herbs. We like it best when baked in a casserole dish and served alongside the turkey. This is also the safest way to prepare it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and breaking up any clumps, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
- Add the wine to the skillet and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet, and then add the mushrooms. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown and have cooked down to about half their original volume, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms with a slotted spoon to the bowl with the sausage.
- Melt the remaining 7 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Then add the celery, onions, sage and thyme and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Beat the eggs and parsley in another large bowl. Add the bread cubes and toss. Add the reserved sausage and mushrooms and toss together. Pour in the vegetables and broth and toss again until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover and continue to bake until golden, about 30 minutes more. Garnish with celery leaves if using.
MY FAMILY'S MEAT STUFFING FOR A TURKEY
This is a meat stuffing my family has used all my life and before. This was given to my mother by her mother, and I imagine, her mother. Our whole family used this recipe. My daughter makes this stuffing as well, and now my granddaughters have the recipe so they will eventually use it. It is a very tasty stuffing so we make "tons" of it to freeze or use over the holidays. It's good on toast with gravy as a hot open sandwich. Or with turkey slices and gravy as a leftovers meal. You can make it a day or so ahead, but you must bring it to room temp if you are going to stuff your bird with it. ETA: I have always made the stuffing and put it into the turkey HOT. That way there is no problems with the turkey being overdone to make sure the stuffing is heated through. IN RESPONSE THE THE REVIEW DATED NOV 20 2007 ---- I appreciate your FYI, however, I have been making my turkey just this way for over 40 years, and have yet to lose a family member or friend. I have eaten it this way from "birth" since this recipe and method has been used by my mother and my grandmother before her.

Steps:
- First, have a very large bowl or pot close to stove top so you can put ingredients in as they are cooked.
- Second, you need a good sized fry pan, preferabley with deep, straight sides.
- Third, a good pair of tongs and spoonula.
- Fourth, are the ingredients. These are estimations, I don't really measure.
- Fifth, you might want to do the prep ahead so as to be able to cook and stuff all at once. Or not!
- *you could use just ground pork but the sausage gives a better taste.
- Heat fry pan and oil lightly with a pat of butter.
- Fry 1/2 the beef and 1/2 the sausage together. Make sure to break it all up and mix it well until all is cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl you have waiting. Juices and all.
- Do the same to the rest of the beef and sausage. Mix thoroughly.
- Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the celery until almost cooked. Dump it all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Melt 1/4 cup (4 Tbs) butter in fry pan and saute the onion until wilted, but not brown. Dump all into the pot/bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Add seasonings at this point. Use the amount that is to your liking. Mix very well.
- If it seems too dry at this point, melt more butter in the fry pan and add to the mix.
- Finally, add the 1 box of croutons and mix several times over the next 15-20 minutes.
- There should be little or no liquid in the bottom of the pot/bowl after this time. The croutons should have absorbed it. If not, add more croutons and repeat.
- Now you can either put the stuffing in a casserole dish, roaster or other baking pan , and cook separately from the turkey.
- I stuff my turkey, both neck and cavity immediately, while the stuffing is hot, and put it into the oven to roast. The extra stuffing goes in a separate pan to cook along side the turkey.
- If you use a spearate casserole to do cook the stuffing, you may want to use some pan drippings to mix into the casserole and give it more flavor.
- With this we serve mashed potatoes, peas, my special turnip/carrot mash, cranberry sauce, and Polish rye or sisal bread. Of course, the gravy, too!

Steps:
- To prepare the stuffing: Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before peeling and chopping.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef and pork; cook until the meat is starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the chopped onions and half of the chopped garlic, along with the steak sauce, vinegar, lemon zest, cumin, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are completely tender and the meat is cooked through, 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl to cool. The meat base can be made up to 1 day in advance. You may cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to make the rest of the stuffing.
- To the same large pot, melt the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining onions and garlic, along with the bell peppers, celery, and scallions. Add the tomato paste and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 15 minutes. Soak the bread in the milk for 3 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid from the bread as you can and then crumble it into the pot. Add the meat mixture back into the pot, along with the chopped eggs, sausage, raisins, parsley, and olives and mix to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Transfer the stuffing to a buttered casserole dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the top is nicely browned. Serve with roast turkey.
RICH MUSHROOM STUFFING
Someone passed me this recipe years ago, but I've just started to use it. It's a vegetarian alternative to a meat-based stuffing. Rich and light.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST STUFFING... EVER!
I have numerous friends who now use this recipe for their own Turkey during the holidays. This recipe is for a 10-12 Lb turkey. It also will stuff 2-3 chickens so you don't have to wait till Thanksgiving. This Murray family recipe is hands down the best stuffing... EVER! ...NOTE: this is a stuffing, not a dressing and does not work if cooked along side the bird in the oven. Oh, and no seasonings are needed. ;) Also, for those worried about cross-contamination....... I've had folks say "they won't eat anything that was in a raw bird"..... but . isn't . the . bird . 'raw' . too, until you cook it? Live and let live. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl place the bread cubes; set aside. In large skillet, melt butter. Add bacon and sauté until bacon is cooked but not crisp.
- Add onion and celery, cook until the onions are almost translucent and bacon starts to crisp. Do not drain. Remove skillet from stove; allow 10 minutes or so to cool.
- Pour over bread cubes (with optional gizzards) and toss. It should be cool enough now to mix with hands (squishing like making a meatloaf). Stuff and tie turkey or chickens.
- Cook as directed for STUFFED turkey or chicken.
