Mom's Turkey Stuffing
This is my version of mom's turkey stuffing!
Servings 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck beef
- 1 pound Jimmy Dean Pork/Sage flavored sausage
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 2 large carrots diced
- 2 sticks of celery sliced or diced small
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 small green apple diced
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds previously toasted
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- 14-16 ounces cornbread stuffing
- 5 cup low sodium chicken broth more if needed
Instructions
- On medium/high heat, brown the beef and pork sausage in a large dutch oven-style pot. Season with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- In a separate skillet, at medium heat, in some preheated avocado oil, sauté the onions, garlic, bell pepper and carrots for 6-7 minutes.
- Once the beef and sausage is nicely browned and cooked through, mix in the sauteed vegetables. Mix in the apple and almonds and cook for another few minutes. Fold in the bread stuffing and gradually mix in the chicken broth. If it seems too dry, add a little more broth. You want it to look moist, so it does not dry out during the baking process. Taste for salt.
- Place the stuffing in a large baking dish and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven until warmed through and top is nicely browned and the bread looks toasted. Grab a fork! Lol! Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. It will be very hot! Back in the day, Mom used to stuff the turkey with this recipe and cook part of it in a small baking dish. I rarely cook a whole turkey and prefer to bake it in a pan instead of inside of the turkey.
