Ingredients

  • 2 (12 ounce) packages cornbread stuffing mix
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 bunch celery, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb beef chorizo sausage or 1 lb vegetarian chorizo
  • 2 links turkey linguica, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons margarine (parve if making kosher)
  • 1 (12 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (I like a little more)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons paprika (mild or spicy)
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (also optional)
  • 3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (e.v.o.o.)
  • 1 (6 ounce) can black olives (drain liquid & chop coarsely)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can be adjusted to personal taste)
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper (can be adjusted to personal taste)

Method

  • Saute' veggies (except cilantro) in the e.v.o.o.
  • Add sausages and cook thoroughly.
  • Add margarine and spices, cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavours.
  • Remove from heat and add stuffing mix, wine & cilantro.
  • Add broth slowly, stopping when stuffing is as moist as you like it (you can add a little extra water if needed).
  • Stuff your turkey with the mixture & cook according to it's weight (Or, you can place in a covered casserole & bake @375 degrees for about 45 minutes).
  • Remove cover & bake for about 10 more minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • When cooking in a casserole, you may want to start with a moister recipe to avoid an overly dry stuffing.
