The Stuffing....

Given there are so few days left to Thanksgiving, and I have to go to work inbetween now and then, I thought I'd start on some dishes tonight.
I also picked up the brussel sprouts and the turkey. All 18lbs of it...! After a major springclean of the fridge, I was able to find space for the bird to inhabit until Wednesday when I will cook it.

I made the stuffing today - it can keep in the fridge, well covered, until Thursday. Very easy and hopefully it will be tasty. I am going to put it inside the turkey rather than cook it separately.

Clean and empty out your turkey - boil up the neck and giblets for one hour. Drain and reserve 3 cups of the water. You can dispose of the neck and giblets (Flor was thrilled with her rather fancy - in dog cuisine anyway - supper) at this stage.

Breadcrumbs, shallots, celery, 4 eggs, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, rosemary. Mix it all together. Add the giblet juices (for want of a better name) and mix well. Voila, you have your stuffing. Mine is now in the fridge, tightly wrapped and ready to be inserted into the turkey in 48hrs.
