    Looking forward to roasting a big fat stuffed turkey till all browned and yummy. Mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, omg.

    West coast stuffing:

    12 cups bread crumbs

    2 lrge onions chopped

    2 cps chopped celery

    1 cp chopped parsley

    Place in lge bowl, mix, - add 3 tble spoons sage, 2 tble spoons poultry seas. mix place in fridge overnite.

    Xmas day, chop giblets(gizzard,heart,liver-neck& a bit of pork sausage) cover with water in pot, add pinch salt/pepper, 1 cp chop onion, 2 tbls poultry seasoning, simmer for an hour.

    Add all this to the bread crumb mixture, stuff the bird, bake in hot oven for 1/2hr,turn heat to 350 degrees, roast till the legs are almost free. (depending on size 3-5 hrs)

    After all this, for me, what I'm really after is the stuffing and the mashed spuds with turkey gravy!!!

    Nah, some other family member usually makes it, usually my brother. I know he uses a lot of cornbread and sage.

    I went over and had "Christmas Dinner" at my mom's this afternoon. Of course, she doesn't call it that and you can't do it on Christmas Day. It was really good tho! Here's a recipe that sounds similar to what my brother does.

    Ingredients:

    • 6 cups crumbled cornbread
    • 3 cups soft bread crumbs
    • 4 ounces butter
    • 2 cups onion, chopped
    • 2 cups finely chopped celery
    • 3 to 4 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cups chicken, diced, optional
    • 1 heaping tablespoon dried sage, crumbled
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried leaf thyme, crumbled
    • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
    Preparation:

    Heat oven to 400ºF. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread and white bread crumbs. In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion and celery in butter until tender. Do not brown. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the bread mixture. Stir in chicken broth, using enough to moisten. Stir in the diced chicken, if using, and the seasonings and beaten eggs, blending well. Spread the mixture in a large shallow baking or roasting pan measuring about 10" x 15". Bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
