Stuffing With Heavy Cream

Does anyone remember a recipe for stuffing that included heavy cream in the ingredients? It was years ago and could have come from Julia, The Silver Palette ladies or possibly Martha. It made a wonderfully rich bread stuffing that browned beautifully on the top. I will probably just wing it and replace 1/2 cup or so of the broth, but there was just something perfect about that stuffing. Maybe it was from Sunset magazine.

The recipe I'm looking for was from about 10-12 years ago. It was traditional , in that it had celery, onions, broth, and bread cubes. It also had ground pork sausage, which adds another element of flavor ! It was soooo good. The cream can be added when the broth is added. Be sure to mix well. It is excellent.

I remember a Turkey dressing Martha Stewart made on Martha Stewart Living. It was fabulous and rich. It was made separately and was really a custard. I think they pulled it because of everyone’s terror of Cream and butter in the day! Too bad because now it’s all the rage! But I didn’t write it down (kick self). I took it to a community meal for Christmas and it was devoured in 15 minutes! Lol!

Thanks everyone. I think what was unique is that it was more of a bread pudding and since I'm using Challah and wild mushrooms, I think the custard idea will work beautifully. Here's to switching gears at the last minute! :-0

Sure, make a savory custard batter, half cream, half turkey stock, half eggs. pour over dried bread and stuff. bake. easy! remember that stuffing/dressing is basically a savory bread pudding

Hi Susan—not sure of the recipe you're looking for but you can definitely add heavy cream to your favorite stuffing recipe. This recipe on Food & Wine even has 2 whole cups... http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/wild-mushroom-stuffing

This one from Martha has a more conservative 1/2 cup: http://www.marthastewart.com/338536/oyster-brioche-stuffing

Hi Susan,

Do you remember if there were any other key ingredients in the stuffing? Took a peek around the internet and a few that sounded good, but your suggestion of swapping stock for cream sounds delicious as well!!
