Apple and Herb Stuffing
Stuffing is a wonderful thing. I don’t just use it to stuff a dead bird, I make it into mini muffins, serve it with reheated vegetables the next day, or stuff it into mushrooms with a little cream and Worchestershire sauce for an entree… Stuffing is versatile stuff.

Ingredients
6 slices white Bread
2 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Crushed garlic
1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese (finely grated)
1/2 cups Parsley (coarsely chopped)
2 Granny smith apples (grated, skin on)
1 tsp Rosemary (coarsely chopped)
1 tsp Sage
1 Large onion (grated)
Directions
- In a frypan, melt the butter until bubbling. Add the onion, grated apple and garlic and cook for 3 – 4 minutes or until onion is soft.
- Cut the bread into tiny cubes. Add the bread to the onion mix, and cook for a few minutes to absorb the butter mixture.
- Remove from the heat and place in a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- If mixture seems dry (ie it won’t bind together), add a tiny bit of water.
- Push the stuffing into the turkey or chicken until full. Seal with a piece of crust and a skewer.
- Cook the bird according to the instructions.
- Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Stuffing will last in refrigerated for up to three days.
