Old-Fashioned Soda Cracker Stuffing with

Onions, Carrots & Mushrooms

 

This is another marvellous stuffing filled with flavor and goodness. This stuffing can be prepared exactly the same, substituting bread cubes for the soda crackers. The combination of vegetables, garlic and herbs is truly wonderful. Stuffing can be baked separately in a 10x3-inch round baking pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until top is lightly browned.

 

9 cups coarsely crushed soda crackers

(about 12 ounces)

1/2 cup melted butter

3 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, minced
2 carrots, grated
4 shallots, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup melted butter

2 teaspoons ground poultry seasoning

(or more to taste)

2 tablespoons minced parsley leaves
salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten
3 cans (10 1/2 ounces, each) chicken broth. (Use only
as much as needed to hold stuffing together.)

 

In a large bowl, place crackers and melted butter and toss lightly until crackers are evenly coated.

In a skillet, saute together the next 7 ingredients until vegetables are soft and most of the liquid rendered is evaporated. Stir in the seasonings and parsley and cook and stir for another 2 minutes. Place vegetable mixture into the large bowl with the crackers and toss lightly until blended.

Stir in the eggs. Now, add only enough broth to hold the stuffing together. Stuffing should not be mushy or dry. This will fill a 15 to 18 pound turkey.

Note: -When stirring ingredients, I have asked you to toss lightly to blend. The idea is to keep some texture to the crackers and not to allow them to turn into mush.
