How do you make Thanksgiving stuffing without a turkey?
We aren't making turkey this year but still want to enjoy stuffing. Is there a way to make it without actually stuffing it inside a bird?
Answers:
You can just put the stuffing in a baking dish. We always make at least 2 extra pans besides what is in the bird and many "experts" recommend not stuffing the bird anyway.
put it in a baking dish in the oven and call it dressing.
go to foodtv.com. they have a ton of thanksgiving recipes. search for stuffing/dressing recipes. pick any that sounds good to you. substitute any animal-based stock/broth with vegetable broth/stock and follow the baking instructions. almost all directions will be for baking the stuffing in a casserole dish.
Boil the giblets in a pan,grind the meat that comes off them, along with some day old bread, onions, celery, sage,salt & pepper in a bowl. Mix it up. Use a little of the broth to moisten and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about an hour.
Stovetop Stuffing!!
the other answers are great, It would be dressing, but if you aren't eating meat there is vegetable broth that you can use for the liquid of your dressing.
Mix it according to directions but bake it in the oven. I'd check out yahoo food or food network for more tips.

Of course there is. The recipe is on the back of the bag. It's not even a good idea to cook stuffing in the turkey because there is a risk of cross contamination.

i buy the Peppridge Farms stuffing....the one with herbs and white and wheat bread... it has no animal by products in it.....
stove top stuffing already has chicken or turkey broth in it....
anyway....on the stove top...i combine the Peppridge Farms stuffing with a can of vegetable broth (you can find both of these things anywhere...at Publix...at Walmart...wherever you shop)
and a little margarine and it makes delicious stuffing... it is vegetarian but not vegan because of the margarine....
Try StoveTop Stuffing - I love it!
If u make it in a crockpot it's easy and it comes out sooo yummy and you don't have to heat up the oven!!
