I know that there are probably over two dozen plus ways to prepare turkey stuffing. Each of us have been raised to enjoy different styles of stuffing and flavors depending on where we live and the traditions and recipes which have been passed down through our family. You can find stuffing recipes that contain cranberries or walnuts, and you can even find oysters inside many a New England bird!
I believe the recipe I am sharing with you today can be modified with your own unique twist. That is how I first came to use this recipe for my holiday turkey stuffing. I began experimenting with the ingredients after I had tasted the initial recipe given in my cookbook.
The original recipe is called, "Millet Burgers." I prepared this recipe as a "hamburgar alternative meal" one day, when I realized how very similar this recipe tasted to turkey stuffing! And it has been my turkey stuffing recipe ever since. I prepare it with my own unique twist: a pinch of this, a cup of that, and it comes out right every time. However, please use your own good judgment in deciding the baking time for this recipe if you prepare it by adding other meat products, such as oysters. Make sure you allow enough time to thoroughly cook the stuffing to accomodate the additional meat being added.
So What Is Millet?
Millet is a grain that is sometimes referred to as "the king of cereals." Millet is extremely high in protein and is easy to prepare. I would suggest incorporating millet in your diet at least two times a week. If you have sugar problems, millet would be a great asset in your daily diet.
You can cut up dried fruit in your millet, oatmeal or whatever grain you happen to be preparing for breakfast and cook it in your ceral. Dried fruits can be consumed with cereal. This is different than fresh fruit, which needs to be digested quickly and should not be held up in the stomach with other foods.
