Dad's Turkey Stuffing by Sharon Guillemette Forinash

Dad’s Turkey Stuffing


12 to 13 lbs. Turkey
1 to 1 ¼ lbs. ground fresh pork
1/3 Cup + 2 Tbsp. chopped onions
2 Stalks celery with leaves, chopped
2 Tbsp. salt
½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. Poultry seasoning
¼ lb. (1 tube) regular salted crackers, crushed
1 Cup chicken stock (bouillon cubes or granules will work)


Stuffing: Use a large skillet and medium temperature. Cook and break up ground pork for approximately 10 minutes. Add the onions and celery. When pork is done, add the salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and crackers. Mix well. Add the chicken broth and mix thoroughly until it is the consistency of mush. Remove the stuffing from the burner and allow it to cool. Refrigerate until cold. It is ready to stuff into your turkey. After stuffing the turkey, cover the exposed stuffing and cavity with a slice of bread. It will prevent your stuffing from drying out.
