@rockygems123 No I use the recipe for the Easy Roast Turkey Breast. But I just checked the website. I'm going to have to try the Roast Whole Turkey Breast with Gravy. Is that the one you make?

@Boehm Collector,
RE: a stuffing using a recipe concocted by my paternal grandmother ( They didn't celebrate Thanksgiving in Italy, so when she came here she made up her own recipe for stuffing. It's different from any stuffing I have ever eaten.)

Would you be willing to share your grandmother's recipe? Would love to see your Italian grandmother's spin on stuffing, especially since, to your taste buds, it's unique to anything else you've sampled. I think that's what I am looking for.

@vabreeze ... I will certainly give you the recipe. But it probably won't be today.

@vabreeze Here is the recipe as given to me by my mother (she was the only one in the family that used my grandmother's recipe).

Brown a little garlic and a little onion with olive oil until golden. Add 1/2 pound ground pork add 1/2 pound of ground beef with salt and pepper to the garlic & onion. After a while add one box of frozen spinach ( which has been cooked with a little butter and onion). Boil a potato and mash. Boil three tablespoons of rice. Add spinach to meat. Then add mashed potato and rice. Finely chop some walnuts and add to the meat. Add a pinch of nutmeg. When everything is cooked beat one to three eggs and a little parmigian to taste. Can't give any quantities other than the ones listed because my mother always told me it was "a little bit of that and a little bit of this. 🤣

I made a lot of chili because I unexpectedly found some expensive steaks on sale almost ready to expire. So I came home, put them in the freezer for 1/2 hour.... ( because it is too hard to chop when he meat is soft.)

Then I used my trusty food processor and made chopped meat from them. So I used it for the chili.

This time I used liquid smoke in it too, since DH always tells me he cannot taste this or that. Well, this time he did taste it. Mission accomplished.

I had baked a packaged chocolate cake mix, so I made a very good chocolate frosting for the topping.

Nothing too complicated or fussy.

I'm an every day cook.

@Boehm Collector,
Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to type out the instructions for your grandmorher's creation! This is definitely something I want to try.. It appears to be a hearty and complete meal on its own.

One question....after the egg((s) is/are added, is the dressing completed stovetop or baked
in the oven?

@vabreeze everything is cooked together on the stovetop as you add the different ingredients. (I.e add the cooked spinach to the meat, add the cooked rice to the meat, add the mashed potato to the meat, etc.) I beat the egg(s) before adding it to the meat. After it is all cooked you can stuff the turkey with it and put the bird in oven. I left it on the stovetop this year because I only made a turkey breast so had no turkey to stuff.
