Don't know but please post the chestnut recipe when you find it! Grin

bagelmonkey · 29/11/2011 18:31

How about a fruity one with dried apricots or apple?

ClaimedByMe · 29/11/2011 18:33

oatmeal stuffing - bloody lovely!!!!

WowOoo · 29/11/2011 18:33

Anothe type of roast chestnut one?
I made one from looking at ingredients on a M&S box. Worked well, but I didn't write it down

BestLaidPlans · 29/11/2011 18:43

We do sage and onion plus a new one. I like mushroom, madeira and chestnut or cranberry and orange. Haven't decided on this years, so will watch with interest.

mogs0 · 29/11/2011 18:53

I made a sausagemeat stuffing last year and it was really good. I'll see if I can find the recipe...

found it! Now i don't make it exactly as the recipe states. This is it proper.

125g smoked streaky bacon in one piece
1 onion
turkey heart and liver
50g butter
150g unsweetened chestnut puree
125g can or tube of liver pate
3 large garlic cloves chopped finely
1 tbsp dried oregano
50g fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg whisked lightly
salt and pepper

cut the rind off bacon and chop into small cubes

finely chop the onion, heart and liver

put the butter into a pan and fry bacon, onion, heart and liver for 3-5 mins, trnsfer to a bowl with all the fat, stir in all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, and season well

transfer to a baking dish, or the turkey body, baste with turkey juices and place in the oven for the last 45 mins of turkey cooking time

i tend to use a 435g can of chestnut puree because that's the only size of the can i can buy. I've only just realised that i use so mush more tham the recipe states (and I wondering if i wrote it down wrong - the recipe I have is handwritten copy out of my mum's very old Josaline Dimbleby (sp?) christmas book. Maybe it is a 450 can, i recall my mum using a whole 435 one too

Also have sometimes obmitted the heart ans liver if the bird didn have them.

Usually don't buy one piece of bacon either just get a packed of smoked streaky rashers

another thing I've never in all my years seen a can or tube of liver pate! Maybe i haven't looked hard enough

liking the idea of a fruity one

ooh more suggestion!

Took me so long to type out my last post (on phone and bit of a challanege as i'm not used to it)

what's in the oatmeal one? Interesred!

i'd thought about nigella's gingerbread, though i was wondering how 'bready' it is seeing I've sage and onion pland (which is my dad's and ds1's absolute faave)

I like American-style cornbread stuffing, but it is quite similar to sage and onion (bready and herby).

Jamie Oliver's spiced cranberry and bacon one is lovely, too.

BadTasteFlump · 29/11/2011 20:11

What about Delia's American Turkey Stuffing? I made it once and it was lovely, although my lot prefer sticking to sage & onion.

It has celery, apples, walnuts & some spices from what I remember (as well as pork sausage meat). I think the recipe is in Delia's Christmas book - I can dig it out if you're interested Smile

I really love this recipe for chestnut, bacon and cranberry stuffing balls from BBC Good Food. They are gorgeous squashed onto Turkey sandwiches on Boxing Day as well.

dearprudence · 29/11/2011 20:18

I fancy this one too, for apricot and hazelnut stuffing
I might try it this year as I've got a vegetarian and a non-pork eater, and it would suit them.

Moln · 29/11/2011 21:26

uh oh! i'm likeing the sound of all of them

choices, choices...

I make a sausage, apple & cranberry stuffing. It's a Good Housekeeping recipe from 2001 and works beautifully with turkey and very easy to make. Let me know if you are interested and I will post recipe.

mmmmmmm, can I come to yours?!! I love stuffing and love the idea of choice of 3!

I don't like the idea of the gingerbread one as the only one, but if there's a choice there you should do it for sure!

ClaimedByMe · 30/11/2011 08:54

I buy my oatmeal stuffing from the butchers Blush but I have looked at recipes online and it seems easy, onion, oatmeal, butter and herbs/seasoning.

joymaker · 30/11/2011 09:15

BadTaste and ujjayi Please dig out those recipes, love the sound of both of them Grin.

We usually have sage and onion and another with meat in it but I feel like trying another combo too- you can never have too much stuffing can you!

wordfactory · 30/11/2011 11:29

I like a sausage meat one.
I add apples, prunes, onions, herbs, breadcrumbs and egg.
Yumtastic.

BadTasteFlump · 30/11/2011 19:12

Hi again Joy

Sorry haven't been on all day - but here's the recipe:

American Turkey Stuffing

175g white bread, cut into 1cm cubes
225g onions finely chopped
4 sticks celery cut into 1cm chunks
1lb/450g good quality thin pork sausages, skinned & cut into 1cm chunks
225g bramley apples, cored & chopped
110g walnuts chopped
50g butter
1 dessertspoon chopped fresh thyme
grated zest of 1 small lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
salt & pepper

Melt butter in large frying pan. Lightly fry chopped onions, celery and sausage chunks until they become golden around edges (about 10 mins). After that tip the mixture into a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly and season well. Done! Smile
