Easy Beginner's Turkey with Stuffing
This easy to make turkey is great for beginners, but
experts will find it equally delicious. Adjust the cooking
time for different sized birds.
List of Ingredients
1 (6 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix
1 cup water
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
4 slices toasted white bread
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oilRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse turkey,
remove giblets and place in a shallow roasting pan.
Prepare stuffing as directed on package. Mix water into the
stuffing.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; slowly
cook and stir the celery and onion until soft. Blend into the
stuffing. Tear the bread and mix into the stuffing. Mix in salt and
pepper. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Scoop stuffing into the turkey cavity loosely, as well as into the
neck cavity. Rub the exterior of the turkey with vegetable oil.
Loosely cover turkey with aluminum foil and bake in the
preheated oven. Cook 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the thickest part
of the thigh and the interior of the stuffing reach 175 degrees F
(80 degrees C). Remove foil during the last half hour of cooking
to brown the bird.
