Thanksgiving Stuffing (Cheat! Using Stove Top) image

Last year I used my method of making turkey/chicken stuffing and used the pre-made packaged mix. My family never knew the difference. Easy and quick with that homemade taste.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium onions, minced
2 -3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (I use Bell's)
2 cups turkey broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
hot water
2 (6 ounce) packages stove top-style seasoned stuffing mix

Steps:

  • Saute onions and celery in butter.
  • Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
  • Heat broth and set aside.
  • Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
  • Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
  • (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)
  • Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
  • Stuff your chicken or turkey. For a side dish place stuffing in a baking dish; cover and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
