FRENCH CANADIAN MEAT TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in large pan except crackers. Cook on medium heat until meat is well cooked, approximately one hour stirring occasionally, so it will not stick to bottom of pan. Add 1 ladle of turkey drippings.

• "I think that pinkie kookie's recipe sounds close if I use rice in place of the bread and/or crackers.".
• I wrote: "Your idea of adding rice instead of the crackers and bread is excellent, Dreamer in Ontario. That is what the recipes are for, to add our own ingredients and ideas. Enjoy it.".

MOIST AND TASTY PORK STUFFING

Steps:

• Place meat, onion, celery and seasoning in a pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for one hour stirring occasionally to break up meat chunks.
• Remove from heat. If there is an excess amount of liquid pour in a cup and reserve. Stir in the stuffing mixture. This mixture should be a little dryer than you like it since it will absorb some of the turkey juices. If too dry, add some of the reserved liquid.
• The stuffing can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight. This makes enough to stuff a 20 lb bird. Remember not to stuff your turkey until it is ready to cook. You can cook the stuffing that didn't fit in your bird in a crock pot (or in the oven if you have room).
