Apple Mushroom Stuffing Recipes

MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Butter one 9x13 inch casserole dish. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Rinse, pat dry and quarter mushrooms. In large skillet heat butter and add mushrooms, onion and celery; saute 5 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
• In large mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs with broth and eggs, add mushroom mixture, apples and parsley; mix well. Turn into casserole dish.
• Cover and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake 15 minutes longer to brown top.

HERB AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft.
• Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock, and almonds, if desired.
• Place the stuffing into the main cavity of the turkey and into the neck of the bird. I cook a 12-pound turkey for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F in a preheated oven. Make sure the stuffing in the cavity is secured by wrapping the legs tightly with string.

CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH SAUSAGE, APPLES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Allow the cubed bread to sit out on cookie sheets for several hours or overnight, until completely dried out.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. The mushrooms will be very coated, but that's good! Divide the mushrooms between 2 cookie sheets and roast in the upper half of the oven for at least 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven when the mushrooms are deep brown. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, crumble and brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Pour off any excess grease and, without cleaning the skillet, add in the diced onions and brown for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the diced apples, brown sugar and some salt. Cook until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium and pour in the wine (be careful if you're using an open flame). Stir and cook to reduce the liquid by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the apple/onion mixture into a bowl and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium heat (again, without washing) and add the chicken broth, rosemary, sage, thyme, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Heat for a few minutes, and then set aside.
• Add the bread to a large bowl, and then add the browned sausage, mushrooms and apple/onion mixture (and any juice that might have accumulated). Next, add the broth mixture gradually as you toss the ingredients, being prepared to not use all of the liquid according to your taste.
• Check the seasonings at the end and add in minced parsley. Pour into a large baking dish (I used an iron skillet) and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. (Or you can stuff the turkey if you're into that kind of thing.)
• Delicious!

• Place the beef, sausage, and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in the onion, celery, and mushrooms. Season with parsley, sage, and thyme. Cook and stir until meats are evenly browned. Mix in apples and water chestnuts, and continue cooking 5 minutes. Drain grease.

APPLE AND MUSHROOM STUFFED ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F(180C).
• In a medium pan, melt the butter and add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and apple.
• Saute them for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the bread or the bread crumbs and mix.
• Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the lemon zest.
• Remove the pan from the stove and set it aside.
• In the meantime, soak 6-7 toothpicks in water to prevent them from burning. Rinse the pork and pat dry.
• Then, make a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of the loin; do not cut all the way through. Open the meat like a book, so the meat lies flat.
• Cover the pork with plastic wrap and pound it with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick, starting from the middle and working outward. This will tenderize the meat and make it a bit easier to roll.
• Spread the apple and mushroom mixture over the surface of the pork loin.
• Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin. Secure the seams with the toothpicks.
• Meanwhile, preheat a large pan.
• Brush the pork loin roll with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the meat in the pan and lightly brown all sides for 4-5 minutes.
• Transfer the meat to a baking pan.
• Deglaze the pan where you browned the meat with a cup of water or broth. Add salt and pepper to your taste and pour the sauce over the meat. Add the bay leaf to the sauce.
• Roast the pork loin for about 1 hour at 350F(180C) or until the temperature inside the thickest part of the meat is 155F(68C).
• Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
• Slice and serve with your favorite vegetables.

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat and add onions, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté until slightly tender. Add fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary and cook for another minute.
• Remove vegetables from skillet and place in bowl with bread. Stir gently to mix.

SERIOUSLY GOOD MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176° C).
• Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake, stirring every so often, until the bread is dry and hard on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the bread bakes, prepare and cook the vegetables. Chop the mushrooms into very small pieces either by hand or by using a food processor. If using a food processor (the quickest method), place half the mushrooms in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until roughly chopped into pieces the size of rice. Transfer to a bowl, and then repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium heat, and then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and they are starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the onions, celery, garlic, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper - start with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, taste, and then add from there. Stir in the maple syrup.
• Take the pot off of the heat, and then stir in the broth. Taste the mixture once more and check the seasoning. If it needs it, add a pinch more salt. Stir in the bread cubes and half of the parsley. If after the bread is well mixed into the vegetable mixture, it still looks dry, add 1/4 cup more broth or more until the bread looks moist, but stop before there is excess liquid at the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to a lightly greased baking dish (use a deep 8-inch x 8-inch square pan, 9-inch by 13-inch dish or similar). Cover with a layer of foil, and then bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the stuffing, and bake another 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp on top. Serve with the remaining parsley scattered on top.
