Leach Family Turkey Stuffing Recipes

OLD FASHIONED STUFFING

Steps:

• Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Crush the bread into crumbs with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat and drain.
• Mix the eggs and chicken broth into the bread crumbs. The mixture should be moist, but not mushy. Use water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in the onion, celery, rubbed sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

EASY, OH SO AMAZING, MRS. CUBBISON'S TURKEY STUFFING, MY WAY

Steps:

• Follow the instructions to make the cornbread in and 8" square pan the night before so it has time to dry out a bit, i usually break the loaf in half to help this process; crumble when ready to use.
• You can also hard-boil the eggs the night before to save you time.
• I usually only get about 3-4 cups of broth from my turkey so I boil the turkey neck in 3 cups water to make up the difference.
• Sauté celery, onion and garlic in olive oil.
• In a large tray combine both boxes of mrs. cubbison's & crumbled corn bread (i use one of those huge disposable turkey roasting trays from the store).
• Add veggies, eggs & seasonings.
• Drizzle with butter & turkey broth until desired moistness, stirring occasionally to disperse liquids.
• Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350 then uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is browned.
