Tanka Tuesday

it’s the stuff

inside or outside

it’s a must

spicy bread

you can have all my potatoes

instead, I’ll take bread.

cubed delight

oh yes I will fight

for stuffing

yummy dish

cranberries, ham, yes I am

lover, Sam I am

This recipe book is so old the stuffing page was ripped out and “stuffed” elsewhere😀

Recipe from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book:

3 Tbsp chopped onion

1/4 cup butter

4 cups dried bread cubes (about 7 slices)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp sage – I always use more

2-4 Tbsp water or broth

Cook onion in butter. Combine with bread and seasonings.Toss with enough liquid to moisten. Enough for a 4-5 pound chicken. Double for a 10 pound turkey. Optional: add giblets, mushrooms, celery (I add celery), raisins or chestnuts.
