Rita's Turkey Stuffing Recipe

Recipe By Lake Geneva Country Meats

Many families have a debate every thanksgiving about what type of stuffing should be served on the table. Some people prefer a traditional, made-from-scratch stuffing, and others prefer the "Stove top" Boxed stuffing. They're both delicious, and both sides of the debate have valid points, but for me, nick vorpagel, there's only one way to go, and that's making a traditional stuffing from scratch. Now before we go on, we should clear up that "Stuffing" Is only "Stuffing" If it's actually stuffed inside of a turkey and cooked that way. We generally don't recommend cooking "Stuffing" This way any more for food safety and flavor reasons. While it's certainly possible, you need to be very careful to cook the inside of the bird to 165f to eliminate any possible food safety threats. This can dry out the bird. Instead, we prefer making "Dressing, " Which is just the same ingredients baked in the oven in a casserole dish instead of in the turkey. I always make this recipe as dressing-it's just as delicious. On to the back story of this recipe. My grandma, and the co-founder of lgcm, rita leahy, grew up during the great depression on a farm in mauston, wisconsin. She learned how to cook on the farm and had lots of great old-school recipes that wanted not and wasted not. One of my favorites was her traditional stuffing that she served on thanksgiving that used the turkey liver to add flavor to the dish. Much of my family preferred boxed stuffing, but i always loved her homemade stuffing. You can't really taste the liver, especially if you chop it well, but you can enjoy the burst of flavor it adds to the dish. Here's rita's recipe for a traditional turkey stuffing (or dressing) that uses turkey liver, bread cubes and more for an amazingly delicious thanksgiving side dish. You can watch how to make it in our video guide, or just go ahead and dive right in. I hope you enjoy this recipe-i love it every time i make it and cherish the memory of my grandmother with each bite
