Byk Stuffing

[jnunan4759]

We need the Byk Thanksgiving Stuffing recipe. Some people call is dressing, but in Philly it is stuffing.

[Kasept]

Will give a general rundown, but it's not a recipe per se. Stuffing an item you do by feel.

Happy Birthday Steve!
Hope you had some good farina for breakfast.

Stock for stuffing:
use the neck and bits that come with Turkey cover with 2 qts water toss a med onion in pot clean skin on cut in half, 1 to 2 large carrots cleaned and cut and 2 stalks celery. No salt but whole peppercorns a bay leaf. simmer 90 minutes let cool and strain. THIS IS CRITICAL for great stuffing

Find 2 large loafs of bread leave them out over night find good bread not the crap wonder bread my mom used. Cube the bread in 1' chunks lay out on sheet pan and put in oven 225 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes DO NOT TOAST although a small amount browning acceptable..Let cool set aside

In a large pan sweat down in oil Carrots, Celery, Mushrooms, Onions use some salt to remove moisture. let cool

I dont use sausage meat but if you do brown it separately into crumpled bits and set aside after its cooked through.

Combine bread and veg in large bowl(meat optional) and add 1 egg beaten and the strained cooled stock carefully stir the mixture dont break it up too much but make sure its got plenty of moisture..


Dont stuff the bird!!! cook it separately covered at 350 for 40 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered at 400 let it rest and then cook the bird.

This will be very good stuff

Have a collection of perhaps 75-90 cookbooks and 1,000+ recipe card files.

Wow, that's pretty intense Steve.

I think I have one recipe and that is the Blu crabcake recipe. That is the best darn recipe. It's not real cheap, but if you want to impress anyone, make those crabcakes. I have never had anyone not tell me they were the best crabcakes they ever had.

Happy birthday and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Yikes. I'm still up thinking of 75-90 books and 1000+ recipes. I'm dizzy.

I will give you my take on the stuffing. I get a quart of oysters and chop them up and put them in the stuffing. I do all the traditional celery, onions and carrots.Stale bread is best. When I was a kid my mother would buy bread a week ahead and let it go stale.

Go Eagles Monday Night. Think they win big.

Took the advice and just went by feel. Plus the oysters. Again I found a bag of some stuff in the turkey. I guess it's extra parts or something. Wish they would put a sticker "Extra Stuff Inside Turkey in Bag", so I would know. I swear one looked like a little heart.
