What a Thanksgiving Feast we all pulled off and we were camping (okay - glamping - we had hook-ups...)!! One of my contributions was to make the stuffing, so I thought that I would try this recipe as we were cooking the turkey in an oil less turkey fryer. I also had this recipe in my pile of new recipes to try, so it was perfect!
I carmelized the onions at home, but everything else was done in the trailer at the campground. From start to finish, this recipe impressed me. I wish I could insert the smells that this recipe produced. It was simply an aromatic heaven of onions, sage, thyme, apples - yum! The only stray that I did make - ok - I made two changes. One - I added cooked pork sausage to the recipe as that is almost a non - negotiable for me with stuffing and...Two - I used the Sage and Apple Stuffing Seasoning from Epicure as it seemed to fit perfectly with the recipe. My biggest surprise was how 8 cups of onions seems like a lot until you cook them for almost an hour! The recipe itself is a bit hands on, but you can do it in stages and bits and pieces ahead of time. Let me tell you - it is worth it! Everyone kept sneaking into the trailer to get small samples and all of the comments were extremely positive. I can't wait until our next turkey dinner when I can make this recipe again. It is now my new stuffing recipe. I hope you try to make it one day - you won't be disappointed!
