Pretzel Turkey Stuffing:
Ingredients:
- 9 cups Bachman pretzel crumbs (coarsely crushed)
- 1-1/2 cups chopped onions
- 1-1/2 cups butter or margarine
- 3 cups diced celery
- 1-1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- *4 cups turkey stock or bouillon
Instructions:
Place Bachman Pretzels between double folds of waxed paper and crush with a rolling pin until crumbs are about the size of grains of wheat or corn. Saute onion in butter (or margarine) until soft, but not browned. Meanwhile, blend celery, seasonings, and crumbs. To Pretzel crumbs add sauteed onion and enough stock or bouillon to blend ingredients well and give desired moistness. Use fork to mix well. Add more seasonings to taste if desired. Pretzels generally contain enough salt so that extra is not needed. Makes 12 to 13 cups of Pretzel stuffing, enough for body and wishbone cavities of 12 - 15 lb. turkey.
*To make turkey stock, simmer giblets and neck in seasoned water 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until gizzard is fork tender. Chop meat and add to ingredients in preparing stuffing or add to gravy.
