  • Shoppel's Famous Turkey Stuffing

    This family turkey stuffing recipe is great. It's a bit old school since it calls for cooking the stuffing in the bird. But it's been a big winner in my family for over 60 years!

    Ingredients

    • For a 12 lb. turkey
    • 1 cup butter
    • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
    • 12 ton 14 cups cubed toasted white bread
    • 1 cup finely chopped celery
    • 3 eggs, mixed with a fork
    • about 2 cups milk

    Directions

    1. Put the bread (toast) cubes in a large pot.
    2. In a separate pan, melt the butter, add onion and celery and cook until soft. Add finely chopped turkey liver (if desired) at the end. It only takes a minute to cook.
    3. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes in the pot and stir. Add eggs and 1 cup milk. Stir to mix. (My hands seem to work the best and mixing everything together!) Add milk slowly to the pot - about a 1/2 cup or so at a time to test - you want the bread mixture moist but not soggy.
    4. (For a 15 or 16 lb. turkey, use 20 cups of bread cubes and add more celery, onion, butter, etc. accordingly. Also use 4 eggs and 3 cups milk.)
    5. Stuff bird tightly and put extra stuffing under the neck skin and close with tooth picks or a skewer if you don't have turkey "thingies". Bake breast side up. Good luck!
