One of the biggest things I look forward to about Thanksgiving is my grandma's stuffing. It's the best stuffing I've ever had, and I've been practicing her "recipe." My grandma is the one who taught me how to cook most things, and we share the tendency to not use actual recipes. I suppose it runs in the family. She did give me her recipe, mind you there's very little measuring included.
The first part of making the stuffing is baking corn bread.
Once the cornbread is made, you are ready to start the remainder of the stuffing.
Once you've sufficiently dirtied your hands with the stuffing goodness, you're ready to start loading it into the turkey. My grandma told me to "stuff it to the brim!" Don't leave any nook or cranny unstuffed. My favorite thing about stuffing is that it absorbs the turkey flavoring while it cooks, so don't miss any spaces!
Now your turkey is full of tasty stuffing, wrap it tightly in heavy duty tin foil. Grandma says this keeps all the flavors in tight and helps them meld together better than loose or open wrapping. Once the turkey has cooked the allotted time, open the foil and allow it to brown for 10-15 minutes.
All you need now is the sides to complete your Thanksgiving Supper! I'd love to hear how yours turns out if you try the recipe!
