Stuffing Recipes?

Anyone have any amazing (non-cornbread) stuffing recipes?

Stove-Top?

In all seriousness, I haven't ever made my own stuffing, but I really, really want to try. DH has an undying love for Stove-Top and while I like it, I'd rather have some amazing homemade stuffing.

I saw a cool article in Food Network Magazine the other day at the grocery store - it was about making a base stuffing and then putting your own spin on it with all kinds of add-ins. I loved it so much (and there was one for my favorite food, mashed potatoes, and for the turkey) that I bookmarked them as my favorites.

Ooh, I have been looking for one too...I made my Thanksgiving menu last night, but I don't have a good stuffing recipe.

Also, trying to figure out what to do Turkey-wise as there will only be four of us...

I’m doing this from memory, but:
Sauté onions, celery, garlic, in butter & olive oil in a pan until onions are translucent (add garlic after onions have cooked a while). Mix together with cubes of dried bread (usually purchased and found in a bag or use stale-ish bread) in a large bowl. Add in fresh herbs chopped (I really like rosemary, parsley, sage, thyme...etc), toss in more dried spices/herbs to taste. Toss in golden raisins and/or dried cranberries. Toss in anything else that sounds good – my favorite (when I had a connection to oyster farmers…which you probably wouldn’t have) was bbq’d oysters. Split the bowl into sections (1) to be cooked in bird and (2) to be cooked separately – don’t mix parts that touch raw bird w/sections that haven’t for risk of Salmonella since the stuff in the bird will bake for longer. Add a little bit of extra of butter and/or chicken broth before baking to keep it moist (but not soggy). Bake at 400 for about 25-35 minutes (depending on your oven).

I have a fantastic recipe for oyster stuffing - if you like oysters.

This is the one I have been using with rave reviews:

I omit the turkey liver.

Not an oyster fan

Heidi--I think I came across that one a few minutes ago. I'll have to print it out.

My recipe uses cornbread and white bread, so I'm no help, but a tip that my MIL taught us - if you have time to make your own turkey stock ahead of time (instead of buying chicken stock), it really makes a difference in the flavor. You can freeze it.

DH's sounds similar to scrub-jay's, but with apples. Apples, raisins, celery, lots of herbs. Plus we use veggie broth to accommodate my vegetarian brother.

I've also been using the recipe Heidi linked for years. I always have to print out the recipe for guests so that should tell you how yummy it is.

We used Heidi's stuffing recipe today to RAVE reviews! It is our new go to favorite!
