Turkey Stuffing- a la Bille (aka Mom)

I will add to this recipe later. This first version is the one my mom made every year for Thanksgiving. We used to love to have it leftover for "stuffing" sandwiches...which Eric pointed out made it a bread sandwich. Good memories anyhow...and Eric's son now makes bread sandwiches too. :)

Mom's Turkey Stuffing-(yep...no amounts...just wing it)

Saute' in butter, chopped onion and celery.
Add:
egg, milk, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, PEPPERIDGE FARM SEASONED BREAD CUBES.

Mix all together and stuff your turkey. Cook until turkey and stuffing are done. Great leftover between two slices of bread spread with mayonnaise. :)

Turkey Breast-Crockpot

Turkey Breast CrockpotJan. 2010-I made this and it was delicious and easy. I chopped everything the night before and put it all together before I left for work. When I came home for lunch, I peeled some potatoes and left them in water in a pan ready to boil when I got home from work for mashed potatoes.

7.25 bone-in Turkey Breast (mine was only a 3.5 lb half breast and it still made plenty for the three of us)
3 Celery stalks, chopped
1 sweet yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix (Like Lipton's)
1 Tbsp butter, melted

Place the celery and onion in the bottom of a greased crock pot. Add the chicken broth and minced garlic.

Rub the turkey breast inside and out with the dry onion soup mix. (it's good to add between the skin and the meat if you have time for that). You can also add oregano, sage, thyme and minced garlic if desired). Place the seasoned breast on top of the celery and onion mixture. Drizzle with th melted butter and cook on high for 1 hour. ( I do this before my morning shower...then turn it down before I leave for work). Turn to low for 7 hours or more.

The turkey turns out moist and delicious. Plenty of leftovers for sandwiches and casseroles. This recipe is a perfect and simple cold-weather meal. I served mine with turkey flavored Stove Top Stuffing, real Mashed potatoes, zucchini and packaged gravy. Simple and well received.
