- Use to stuff the turkey neck cavity if desired (see tip) then shape remainder into balls (approx. Ø 4 cm) and place on prepared tray. Bake for 15 minutes (190°C) then cover with foil and bake for a further 30-40 minutes (190°C) until golden. Serve warm.
Hints & Tips
- Only stuff the neck end of the turkey, just before cooking, and seal it by tucking in the skin. Make sure to allow enough room for stuffing to expand during cooking. Do not stuff the body cavity. Make sure you calculate the correct cooking time – as a guide, for every 500 g stuffing used, add an additional 10 minutes to the unstuffed turkey cooking time.
- This stuffing is also delicious served with a vegetarian or beef Wellington or used to stuff a roast chicken.
