directions
- This recipe can be enlarged for more people easily, but I usually make for 10.
- 2 1/2 onions, chopped, mound in half of the bottom of a large bowl.
- Equal mound of celery, chopped.
- 1 sheaf cilantro, cleaned, chopped, with heavy stem parts removed. Sprinkle over the vegies - to taste, but enough so you can barely see the vegies.
- Eggs: start with 2 and mix well into the vegies. You want all bits coated with egg, so you may have to add one or two more.
- Milk: usually 1 1/4 cup - the goal is to not cover the vegies, but to make the bits almost float.
- Pepper: sprinkle over the top so there is a light covering over all.
- salt: That's up to you. I use about 1-2 Tablespoons (I have to eat salt).
- Break or cut French bread into the mixture until the bread sops up the liquid. If your final stirring looks a bit dry, add enough chicken broth to do the job. I use Swanson's.
- Transfer to a casserole dish - or two.
- Slice cubed butter very thin over the top, don't stir.
- Bake at 350 for an hour or until top is toasty.
- STUFFING.
- Measure the cavity of the bird, cut French bread to fit. Usually 5" to 6". Then slice in half - like for a sandwich.
- Onion: slice thin rings and lay over one of the halves, overlapping.
- Cilantro: a dozen leaves, chopped or not, over the onion.
- Pepper: a small sprinkling.
- Put halves together and put into the cavity carefully, small end first.
- It will absorb juice from the turkey so you'll need to spoon it out of the bird. The onion sandwich also adds flavor to the turkey. Subtle, but mmm.
