Saw her make this on tv on Sunday morning, so looked up the recipe.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
2 McIntosh apples, cored and chopped I used one apple
3 to 4 small ribs celery, chopped I skipped this
1 onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cup stuffing cubes (recommended: Pepperidge Farm) or stale cubed white bread (I used four cups)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
4 cups chicken or turkey stock in a box
2 pounds ground turkey (my package was three lbs)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg (I used two)
oven 350 degrees F.
Heat the butter to melt in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute the apples, celery, and onions seasoned with a bay leaf, salt, and pepper, until very tender, 10 minutes. Add the stuffing cubes and moisten with 1 to 1/1 2 cups of stock; season with poultry seasoning. Cool completely, then combine in a bowl with ground turkey, salt, pepper, half the parsley, and egg. Form 4 oval-shaped loaves a couple of inches thick. Arrange on a rack over baking sheet or parchment-lined baking sheet and coat with a little oil to glisten. Roast until brown and firm, 45 minutes, depending on thickness.
For the gravy:
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
In a saucepan, whisk the oil and 1/4 cup flour over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes,
(it did not take that long) until the color of peanut-butter. Add lots of coarse pepper to the roux, then whisk in a couple of cups of stock and thicken, season with salt to taste.
ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!
