EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of cooking the stuffing in the slow cooker, use this recipe to stuff any 12- to 14-pound bird. After making the stuffing mixture, stuff and bake turkey as directed in the turkey recipe. The center of the stuffing must reach 165°F.

To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350ºF oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

RE Freddy-Cooker: We used the Mexican Chorizo which is fresh pork and contains chili peppers and usually vinegar in lue of white wine. The soft Mexican Chorizo can be found in 2 forms; sausage links in a casing, or bulk. Because it is fresh pork that has not been smoked (cured) it requires cooking, which makes it an excellent for casseroles, stews and in this case stuffing. Chorizo can be found in the meat case or in the freezer section of your local grocer. In a pinch, Spanish (smoked) Chorizo can be sub oz for oz. Because it is a hard sausage you will need to cut, cube or slice it and unlike Mexican, Spanish it can be eaten with cooking.
