How do you do stuffing?

[Fire Me Boy!]

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let's skip past the turkey and talk about what everyone loves most - stuffing/dressing.

How do you do it?

I'll admit, until I started dating my wife, my entire experience with stuffing/dressing was Stove Top. I didn't mind, but now I know better. And for the last decade plus, I make mine homemade. Sometimes I use the pre-cubed (un-seasoned) bread, but mostly I'll make my own.

Mine is pretty basic. It's what Mrs. FMB's dad made, and what we like. I've made a few modifications, and I think mine's better, but it's still very basic.

I prefer to start by drying out the bread in the oven. Add some diced onion, celery, mushrooms, and minced garlic sauteed in butter, and toss with the bread. I'll season pretty aggressively with rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Then it all gets moistened with stock - I really try for homemade turkey stock, but sometimes I just use from the store. Bake it all up under foil, and then take the foil off and let the top get crispy.

Pawnmower makes the best stuffing.

Or is it stuffing makes the best Pawnmower?

I can never remember.

For the past five years I went to making mine from scratch after I enrolled my daughter in this cooking school online for her culinary arts elective when I homeschooled her in her last two years of high school. I see they still have the recipe on their site to view.

It was such a hit, I now make it every year but I use this wheat-free bread from Sami's Bakery sold at my local Natural Food store.

It is millet-flax and has no yeast either. No one, without a wheat allergy has noticed or complained but still rave about this stuffing.

This stuffing calls for fresh sage leaves, fresh thyme and starts with a classic Mirepoix (celery, carrot and onion).

I no longer put my stuffing in the bird. I bake it separate.

Other times I've made wild-rice stuffing with mushrooms, cornbread and Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing bread cubes. ( before I knew I had a wheat allergy )

Who said rice is not real stuffing? It can be anything. The Pilgrims stuffed theirs with onion chunks and herbs. They even boiled their turkey and spit roasted smaller birds like passenger pigeons which were numerous at the time. Visit Plymouth Plantation.

Meh, stuffing is bread.

If I showed up to any of my family Thanksgivings and they had rice stuffing, I would not be satisfied or inclined to eat it. **** that noise.

You can't make sandwiches with dry stuffing.

That's a bread stuffing. Is what most use is all.

I put rice in the neck so it bakes pretty (not collapsed) and then I have turkey rice.
