Recipe Introduction
Angela states she uses much less margarine and moisten with fat-free broth for a modern interpretation.
List of Ingredients
1/4 pound (or more) GFCF maragrine
1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup finely diced celery
1/2 cup chopped celery tops
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 pound small link sausages lightly browned
1 tablespoon salt or more, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
6-8 cups coarse corn bread crumbs
3/4 cup Madeira (optional)Recipe
Melt the margarine in a saucepan with the chopped onion. Add
the celery, celery tops, and thyme.
Saut� the sausages gently or broil them.
Add the salt and pepper to the crumbs and mix with the onion-celery mixture, the sausages, and the Madeira.
Add more melted margarine or some of the rendered sausage fat, if needed. Taste for seasonings.
Stuff the turkey lightly.
Variations:
1. Omit sausages and add 1 cup whole kernel corn and 1/2 cup
finely chopped green chiles (or 1 cup, if you like the taste of chiles). Substitute 1/2 cup cognac for the Madeira.
2. Omit sausages. Saut� 1/2 pound sausage meat with the
onions, breaking it up well. Add to the stuffing with 1 cup pecans.
3. Omit sausages. Add 1 1/2 cups finely shredded ham to the
stuffing. Saut� the onions in ham fat instead of margarine.
4. Omit sausages. Add 2 cups crisp crumbled bacon to the
stuffing. Saut� onions in bacon fat.
5. Omit sausages and celery. Add 2 cups coarsely chopped ham
and 2 cups coarsely chopped roasted and salted or toasted and salted filberts.
6. If you like oysters in a stuffing, add about 2 dozen
oysters with their liquor.
