Stuffing for your turkey (at Christmas)
Yes yes, you can buy ready mix stuffing,but it is just not the same as homemade stuffing for your turkey at Christmas
Chestnut stuffing – Ingredients
large tin of chestnut Puree
I egg
I onion (chopped and sauted)
2-3 slices of wholemeal bread ground to breadcrumbs
knob of butter
Method
Mix all together and add to the front of the turkey
Force meat or sausage-meat stuffing – Ingredients
I large packet of sausage-meat
3 slices of bread ground for breadcrumbs
1 egg
the zest of half a lemon
a large bunch of fresh herbs, parsley sage and thyme, finely chopped
add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together
add to the neck end of the turkey and secure the skin over with a skewer, this part may need to be covered with foil during cooking to stop burning.
I also like to force this stuffing under the skin of the bird at the neck end so some of it goes over the breast of the bird and creates a way of keeping the breast basted and moist

Hello and welcome to the site. These are just my musing over a period of a few years as I turn on and off the internet. I have as Groucho Marx once said "worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty". My background has come via computing to theatre - both creative and technical, University, Politics, Business, Counselling/Therapy and back round to computers. I now run with my partner a healthcare business, I also offer IT consultancy and offer motivational guidance. Please leave your comments or get in touch I would like to hear from you.
Thanks so much Jonathan. At last someone who does know how to make PROPER old fashioned stuffings for a turkey. I always use chopped chestnuts rather than pureed, as I like that little bit of crunch. The sausage meat stuffing is wonderful on Boxing Day cold.
