Grandma Smith’s New Brunswick-Style Turkey Stuffing Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

3 potatoes, peeled and cubed

½ cup butter

2 celery stalks, finely chopped

1 large onion, minced

2 tablespoons dried summer savory

2 eggs, beaten

6 slices bread, cut into cubes

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Methods :

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the celery and onion in the butter until the onion has turned translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold into the mashed potatoes along with the savory, and allow to cool until just warm.

Step 3

Place the cooled mashed potatoes into a large bowl, and stir in the beaten egg. Gently fold in cubed bread, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Use as a stuffing for turkey, or bake in buttered loaf pans at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes.
