Overview

No event is complete without turkey being served. Thanksgiving, Christmas and even simple family gatherings become a one of a kind celebration with a sumptuous turkey gracing the dining table. If one is preparing for an occasion or quiet time with family and friends and would like to know how to prepare the best turkey in town, one has to realize that it starts with knowing what the best turkey stuffing is.

The best stuffing really depends on what kind of ingredients would tickle one’s fancy. While many perceive the best turkey stuffing to be exactly like the turkey they had for Christmas or Thanksgiving, many try to innovate and add new things to make the dish tastier.

Traditional Best Turkey Stuffing

When we speak of the traditional kind of turkey stuffing, we require three kinds of herbs in addition to everything else. These three herbs are marjoram, sage and thyme and these can be in either dry form or fresh. Chop celery, garlic and onions and fry these using butter in a large frying pan until it gives out a pleasant aroma. Add a dash of salt and pepper to lock in the flavors and throw in vegetables of choice. Many use diced carrots and peas but one can certainly throw in there vegetables that one feels would make the turkey taste much better. Add the herbs.

Once the vegetables are cooked, it is a good idea to put it in an airtight container and leave it in the fridge overnight. However, if one is pressed for time, just let the vegetable mixture cool down before mixing it with bread cubes. The traditional best turkey stuffing is ready to be placed inside the bird.

Innovative Best Turkey Stuffing

For those who are a little more adventurous, aside from the usual ingredients, some add a bit of ground meat to the stuffing and use potato instead of bread. Potato absorbs the taste of the cooked ingredients and this carbohydrate makes up for the bread stuffing. Because the turkey is baked with the stuffing inside, there is no need to cook the potato separately but if one wants it a little mashed, boiling might be necessary.

The best turkey stuffing is best complimented with turkey that is of the right texture and just the right size so that it cooks evenly. Before making the stuffing, one should make sure that the turkey is ready and that it fits in the oven.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving for your to appreciate this Thanksgiving turkey recipe! Make sure you start about 5 hours before dinnertime to have enough time to cook this Thanksgiving turkey recipe!

To make this Thanksgiving Turkey recipe you will need the following ingredients:

• A 12 pound turkey (will feed about 10 people)
• A roasting bag
• 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1/4 cup organic shallots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic carrots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic celery, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic beet, finely chopped
• 3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tsp of honey

In general a 12-15 lb turkey will feed 10-12 people, a 15-18 lb turkey will feed 14-16 people and a 18-22 lb turkey will feed 20-22 people. If you want to use a larger Thanksgiving turkey, adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Preheat the oven to 325°.

In a large bowl combine your chopped shallots, carrots, celery, beet and garlic together.

Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wings under the turkey and place the turkey in a large oven roasting bag. Place your vegetable mixture over and around the turkey and add two teaspoons of honey into the mix. Fold the top of the bag over and place turkey, breast up, into your roasting pan.

This is the secret that will make your Thanksgiving turkey super moist and delicious. Add water to a depth of about 1 inch in the pan.

Roast turkey for 3 to 3 1/2 hours hours. If you want to use a meat thermometer, insert your needle into the thickest part of the leg (but not touching the bone). The temperature should be 165° to 170°.

At this point, you want to carefully remove the Thanksgiving turkey from the bag. Increase the oven temperature to 450° and roast the turkey for 30 minutes longer. Turkey should be a golden brown by now. If it’s not, leave it for another 10-15 minutes.

Carefully remove the turkey from the oven and transfer the turkey to a platter without the juices. Transfer the juices to a separate bowl and let everyone use it as gravy.
