Sausage meat stuffing

Chaps..I have just the one job at xmas, stuffing the pre-boned Turkey,so to speak!(costs a couple of quid extra at the butchers to get it boned )
Sausage meat
Onions
Bread crumbs
Eggs.
Quantities to suit your own taste.
Quite simply mixed the lot together and stuff into the split breasts ,leg cavities and middle of the bird. (Don't over do it though,and any excess can be made into balls for seperate cooking or frozen for another time.)
Sew the thing back together so it resembles a bird again.lay in in a tray on the bones to keep in out of the fat and bang it in the oven.
When cooked,let it stand for an hour wrapped in tin foil. Carve and let the women folk admire your beautiful skills and taste the wonderous fare!
:D Mrs Pal has just confirmed that I do a very nice job of it too!...BUT,...that is all I do bloody do!... :rolleyes: :D

 

pal can you tell me something, I always stuff the turkey and people keep saying it is dangerous to do this now, why as we have done this for years and we have never been ill.

 

That sounds yummy, yummy, Pal! However, I'll do something different with my duck and keep you recipe for a turkey day.

Rosa, it's something to do with stuffing the stuffing up the backside! :D Cleanliness is what I think "they in know" harp on about. If you thoroughly wash your bird in question, there should be no problem ..... and, as you rightly say, we've done this for years and are still here! :D :D

PS Do you remember before they had "sell by" dates? Another one to ponder on! :rolleyes:

 

One wise lady that wife of yours Nick.

 

I am really hungry now :rolleyes: :D

 

bm you will be more hugry when you see this :D

 

oh yummy, not enough time to rattle off one of those, off to make myself a toasted sandwich instead

 

LOL,No sell by dates i dont remember but i do remember my Gran having a larder but no fridge and she made the best trifle i have ever tasted.

 

Does anyone know when "sell by" dates commenced? My computer is playing silly b*ggars today and I can't trawl. Must have been the 70's ??????

 

Well that's my job done for Xmas. The 18lb Turkey is well and truely stuffed and with the left over stuffing I made balls as a side order.
I'm a bit cross that the butcher made cuts in the skin though!

 

OK PAL dare i ask what do you do with the balls

 

Pop 'em in the oven and try and make sure you save some for yourself!!They go like hot cakes!!! :D

 

sounds good

 

How many are you expecting for dinner, Pal?

 

Looks like a job well done Nick. Me I gotta stuff my goose tomorrow morning. Sorry I don't do turkey :D :D Mind I could eat a couple of those sausage meat balls.
