"turkey stuffing" news and stories

I can think of at least one situation in which White Castle Slyders really hit the spot. Maybe two. Neither of those two situations are Thanksgiving, however, so I was pretty surprised to see a recipe for turkey stuffing on the White Castle website. It involves a number of slyders - their small, rectangular burgers that have five little holes in the patties and come with onions and a pickle - and some more traditional stuffing ingredients, such as celery and spices. The pickles are removed before starting the stuffing, but since onions, bread and sausage can all play a big role in stuffing, it actually doesn't seem too strange.

The recipe is after the jump, if you're brave enough to try it.

This is simplicity itself and tastes just gorgeous! The ingredients list is long but worthwhile I feel. It is adapted from The Wine Lover Cooks Italian by Brian St. Pierre.

Marsala Turkey Stuffing

• 1 finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1lb minced pork
• 8 ounces Italian sausages removed from casing
• 2 cups cubed sourdough bread
• zest of 1 orange
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
• 1 1/4 cups quartered prunes
• 3 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/2 cup dry Marsala
• pepper and olive oil

Cook the onion and the garlic in olive oil until soft. Add pork and sausage meat and cook until lightly brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

In a bowl combine breadcrumbs, zest and juice, sage, thyme, prunes, nuts, parmesan, Marsala and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the cooked meats and mix well. And there you go - stuff the bird!
