HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BREAD STUFFING
SOURDOUGH STUFFING
The trick is to use fresh sourdough bread for this recipe. Along with garlic powder, onion powder, fresh onions diced finely, fresh cubed mushrooms, poultry seasoning 1/2 tsp savory, ground pepper, sunflower seeds, salt. Drizzle the drippings from the turkey too to add moister and intense flavor
- Fry your diced onions and mushrooms first with a bit of olive oil and butter.
- Then put your cubed sourdough bread in the frying pan
- Add all your spices
- Mix to combine and add a dash of turkey drippings / gravy
- Bake at 350 f for 20 to 25 minutes!
Wanting to feed more, simply double up the ingredients and place it into a larger baking dish.
CAN I PUT STUFFING INTO A TURKEY
Yes, just make sure to cook the Turkey an hour or so longer as the stuffing has to reach an internal temperature of 170° F ti be safe to eat.
What I tend to do is cook the stuffing in the turkey, then when it is time to remove the stuffing.
I will place it into a shallow baking dish and place it back in the oven to cook for another 15 minutes, while I slice the turkey!
