What is your favorite recipe to use on Thanksgiving? What makes it so good? Where did you discover this recipe? Post and share your favorites here!
Easy Peasy
1 pound frozen tiny peas
1/2 cup bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
1 8 oz can water chestnuts, drained
1/4 cup chopped onion
11 oz can cream of celery soup
1/4 cup sherry (you can omit this)
1/2 - 1 cup seasoned poultry stuffing
2 tablespoons butter
Spread peas in a one quart casserole. Combine water chestnuts, bacon, onion, soup and sherry. Spread over peas. Top with stuffing and drizzle butter over the top. Bake in 350 oven for 45 minutes or until hot. You could certainly double the recipe and bake it a bit longer.
If you want an easy recipe, there's always the McDonald's cheeseburger stuffing option.
(I"m being serious, here...)
Go to McD's and purchase 15 to 30 (depending on the size of your bird) PLAIN cheeseburgers. (Many McD's are closed on Turkey day, so you may have to do it the day before.)
Take them home, and cut them into very small pieces. Moisten them with a little chicken or turkey broth and stuff the turkey with the mixture. (You can add a little poultry seasoning, or onion or garlic powder or whatever else you'd like)
You will be *amazed* at how delicious it turns out !
(I can understand you not wanting to risk this for your special day, but try it next time you roast a chicken for a "regular" meal.)
It's darned tasty.
