I need a recipe for stuffing turkey without meat.?

I would preffer bread stuffingI need a recipe for stuffing turkey without meat.?
My daughter in-law was a vegetarian and since I like sausage stuffing I made a batch of meatless for her. I used sliced mushrooms and used plenty of poultry seasoning. Used canned vegetable broth to moisten and no eggs. It was just as popular as my regular stuffing. I rarely measure when cooking so thse amounts are approximate. I usually refer people to allrecipes.com since tastes vary and I think you are a better judge of what sounds good.





6 cups bread cubes.


1 cup chopped onions


1 cup chopped celery


2 cups sliced mushrooms


1 stick butter


2 tablespoons poultry seasoning.


Saute onions and celery until just starting to get soft. Add mushrooms unt6il they barely go limp but not really soft.


Mix bread seasoning and vegetables. Put in greased baking pan and add canned veg. broth to just cover. Bake at 350 deg. ( or with other stuff in oven at whatever temp., just check on it. Or use to stuff the bird.I need a recipe for stuffing turkey without meat.?
Along with the bread,add some finely chopped onion,salt and pepper, finely diced celery and some poultry seasoning.You can add grated carrot also if you like and replace the poultry seasoning with sage.Bind it all together with some chicken or turkey stock.You can purchase the stock at the grocery store.Campbells put out a good chicken stock in a tin or in a carton.


Good luck and enjoy!!
Tear into chunks 1 1/2 loaves white bread. Set aside.


Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium low heat.


Chop 1 medium onion finely. Slice 2 or 3 celery stalks.


Add to melted butter. Cook until onion is translucent and fragrant.


Add 1 C. water, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. ground black pepper, 1 1/2 tsps. rubbed sage or poultry seasoning in place of the aforementioned. I use a scant tablespoon.


Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or so to blend flavours. Remove from heat, uncover, and cool.


Pour over torn bread and stir well. Stuff your turkey and put any extra into a buttered pan to pop in while your turkey rests before carving. 30 minutes or so in a 350 F oven should do it unless your pan is very deep.
You could use chicken stock, to get the meat flavor. Otherwise, veggies, and bread would make a good stuffing.
make a basic cornbread, cut up loaf bread pieces, sautee large onion, 2 bell peppers and stalk of celery in 1 stick butter. combine everything together with 1 egg, 1-2 cans chicken broth and seasonings (sage, pepper, salt) Easy and Delish!
What you could do is use herb flavored bread cubes, slice up 1 onion some celery and add some water to it. Not to much water, just enough to make it easy to put in the bird. If you can put it in your hand and it sticks together, you are good to go.
Stove Top is really easy. I personally prefer to buy some pre-bagged bread cubes, then saute some celery and onions in butter, add poultry seasoning (unless it's in the ';mix';), and pour it over the crumbs. Then you add enough broth to wet it. You can use chicken broth.





Note: if this is meatless to accommodate a vegetarian, please note that it will not be a vegetarian food if you stuff the turkey with it. For a vegetarian, prepare stuffing as above (use veggie broth) and bake it in a casserole on the side.
Basic bread dressing is always a hit. Homemade; makes 8 cups which can stuff a 12 lb turkey:


3 qt dry bread crumbs


1 t.. sage


1 t. thyme


1 t. rosemary


1 1/2 t. salt


1/3 cup melted margarine or butter


1 cup canned chicken/turkey broth





Optional ingredients to add (all or mix %26amp; match):


1/3 cup chopped parsley


1 cup chopped onion


1 cup chopped apple


1 cup chopped celery
