Stuffing’s for your xmas turkey.
 
 
Instead buying stuffing ready made or in a packet this year, why not make your own? Try one of the recipes below.

Sage and Onion (enough for a 12lb to 14lb bird)
 
 
Ingredients
 

2½ lb of onions, peeled and chopped

1¼ oz of butter

8 oz of fresh white breadcrumbs (or wholemeal if you prefer)
 
3 to 4 teaspoons of sage (dried)
 
2 teaspoons of salt and pepper mixed.
 
Water
 
Method
 
Cook onions in a little water until they are just soft, approximately 20 minutes
 
Drain off liquid and save.
 
Add the breadcrumbs, butter, salt and pepper mixture, sage
 
and mix together. (should be just moist enough to hold together)
 
Insert the stuffing into the Turkey just before placing it into the oven.
 
Do not pack the stuffing in tightly as it will expand during cooking.
 
Why not place your stuffing in a casserole with a lid? add a little of the onion water to prevent it drying out and
 
cook it in the oven until it is cooked right through, about 45 minutes.
 
By doing this your Turkey will take less time to cook and it will negate any chance of a visit to the hospital with an upset stomach.
 
If you like your stuffing with a crust, remove the lid from the casserole for the last 15 minutes.

 

 Apricot Stuffing (enough for 12 to 14lb bird)
 
 

1½ lb of onions peeled and chopped
 
6 oz of died apricots, chopped fine
 
12½ oz of fresh wholemeal bread crumbs
 
2 oz shredded suet
 
2 oz butter
 
1 large lemon
 
1 small egg, beaten
 
1 teaspoon of mixed salt and pepper
 
Method
 
Fry onions in the butter until soft
 
When onions cool, add the rest of the ingredients plus the juice and finely grated zest of the lemon and mix well.
 
Insert the stuffing into the Turkey just before placing it into the oven.
