Tikka Masala Turkey Stuffing
- 1 (1 pound) loaf sliced white bread (8-10 cups) or one bag of bread stuffing
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 medium onion, chopped
- 4 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup each
- Golden raisins
- Currants
- Coarsely chopped pitted prunes
- Chopped almonds
- Toasted coconut - in a 350 degree oven, for 7-16 minutes. Watch carefully
- 2 eggs beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pouch of Tasty Bite Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce
- 3/4 cup to 1 cup of water
- 2 Tbsp. half & half cream
- Let bread slices air dry for 5 to 12 hours (overnight), then cut into cubes
- Chop celery, parsley and anything else that needs cutting up
- In a large pan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and celery until translucent. Remove from heat. Add Tasty Bite Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce, eggs, and cream. Stir in fruit and almonds. Salt to taste
- Stir in bread cubes until evenly coated. Add water until moistened, not soaking. Toss in almonds. Mix Well
- Chill, and use as a stuffing for turkey, or bake in a buttered casserole dish covered with foil at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Then bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes
Stuffing and Dressing Notes: If you choose to stuff your turkey, here's the drill.
Twelve cups of stuffing will fill both cavities and leave you extra to bake separately.
Just before roasting, spoon room-temperature stuffing loosely (stuffing expands as
it cooks) into the neck (smaller) cavity. Fold the neck skin underneath the body and
secure with a small metal skewer. Then loosely fill the body (larger) cavity, and
tie drumsticks together. If you don't want any stuffing to spill out, cover the
opening with a slice of fresh bread, tucking it inside the cavity before tying
the drumsticks. Follow roasting directions above. (Timing for a stuffed bird may
be slightly longer, but start checking the temperature at 1 3/4 hours.) Immediately
transfer stuffing from body cavity to a shallow baking dish (separate from one for
stuffing baked outside the turkey). Take temperature of stuffing in neck cavity and
if less than 165°F, add it to the baking dish. Bake (covered for a moist stuffing or
uncovered for a crisp top) until it reaches a minimum of 165°F. This can take 20 to
45 minutes, depending on the temperature of the oven, which you may have lowered to
reheat side dishes.
Make the stuffing slightly dry if you are going to stuff the turkey with it.
It will expand and become more moist as the turkey roasts.
The bread you use should be dried overnight at room temperature, or sliced and
baked in a very low oven for about an hour. Bread that's too moist will make a
soggy, sticky stuffing.
Make sure to spoon the stuffing lightly into the turkey cavities. We want to
get that stuffing to 165 degrees, and it won't if it's packed too tightly!
Makes 10 servings. Preparation Time: 15 minutes.
