Simple Turkey Stuffing
A rich, pork-based stuffing. Serves: 8-10. Prep Time: ~2hrs.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound ground pork
- ~1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Onion (optional)*
- 3-4 Quart Saucepan with Lid
- 1 Water to cover Pork
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Sage
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Cup Dried Parsley
- 1/2 Teaspoon Celery Salt
- ~1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Pepper
- *(If not using fresh onion: Add 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Salt)
- ~1 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
Preparation:
- Break up the pork into the saucepan. If using fresh onion, stir it into the pork.
- Add enough water to submerge the pork. Cover, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to simmer, cooking the pork for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until pork is thoroughly cooked and water is nearly gone. Depending on the leanness of the pork, the fat can be skimmed off periodically.
- Stir in the seasonings (the various Salts, Pepper, and Parsley).
- Add enough chicken broth to barely cover the pork (~1/2 Cup).
- Add a similar quantity of bread crumbs (~1/2 Cup) and stir until well mixed.
- The broth and crumbs can be adjusted to taste - more moist or more dry.
- Stuff the turkey with the mixture prior to roasting. Or bake the stuffing separately in a casserole dish, uncovered, for about 35-45 minutes.
