SAUSAGE-MEAT STUFFING, for Turkey
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 6 oz lean pork
- 6 oz fat pork
- both weighed after being chopped (beef suet may be substituted for the latter)
- 2 oz bread crumbs
- 1 small tablespoonful of minced sage
- 1 blade pounded mace
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Chop the meat and fat very finely, mix with them the other ingredients, taking care that the whole is thoroughly incorporated.
- Moisten with the egg, and the stuffing will be ready for use.
- Equal quantities of this stuffing and forcemeat, No. 417, will be found to answer very well, as the herbs, lemon-peel, &c.
- in the latter, impart a very delicious flavour to the sausage-meat.
- As preparations, however, like stuffings and forcemeats, are matters to be decided by individual tastes, they must be left, to a great extent, to the discrimination of the cook, who should study her employer's taste in this, as in every other respect.
