ingredients
- 1 cup turkey giblets (about 1 cup, from 1 turkey)
- 2 onions, chopped, divided
- 8 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 1⁄2 loaves bread, cubed, divided
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 2 apples, cored
- 1 cup currants (or raisins)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dried sage
- 1⁄2 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
- 1⁄4 cup carrot, shredded
- 1 cup chicken broth (or turkey, if you have some)
directions
- Boil giblets in water with a little salt until cooked.
- Saute half the onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender.
- Add 1 more tablespoon butter and 1/4 of the bread cubes.
- Toss/stir to combine and remove from pan.
- Repeat this process. Note: if you have a large enough frying pan, you can do this in one step, but that's a lot of bread.
- Saute the celery in 1 tablespoon butter until tender.
- Add 1 more tablespoon butter and the rest (reserve 1 handful) of the bread cubes.
- Toss/stir to combine and remove from pan.
- Put cooked giblets, apples (cored), and currants through a meat grinder. Put the reserved handful of bread cubes through the grinder to scrape all the goodies out.
- Combine everything, including the rest of the ingredients, into a large bowl and mix by hand.
- Stuff your turkey but do not pack the stuffing or it will not cook completely. Cook turkey according to your favorite recipe.
- You will have extra stuffing. Put excess stuffing in a covered oven-proof casserole dish and bake at 325 or 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 60 minutes; uncover and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.
