Ok Peeps. Usually anyone who cooks for the holidays adds some of their own touches (recipies) to the dinner. Here are a couple things I make on Turkey Day for my family.
Pumpkin Muffin Stuffing.
5 tbsp "I can't believe it's not butter"
1 fresh or dried Bay Leaf
6 ribs celery from the heart (chopped with greens)
2-3 McIntosh apples (seeded and chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 medium zucchini (chopped)
6 pumpkin muffins (crumbled)
1/2 cup seeded sunflower seeds
2 tbsp Poultry Seasoning
S & P
1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken stock
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat with "I can't believe it's not butter". After it's melted add bay, celery, apple 1/2 of the onion and zucchini. Season veggies ilerally with S & P and cook 10 minutes or until softened. Remove bay leaf. Add crumbled muffins and sunflower seeds to the pan and combine with veggies. Season the stuffing with the poultry seasoning. Dampen the stuffing with 1 1/2 - 2 cups stock. Pile the stuffing into a serving dish and place in oven, just to crisp the top. You can also just use an ice-cream scoop and scoop into cupcake pan to make individual serving stuffing muffins.
