Lemon and parsley stuffing

Ingredients for lemon and parsley stuffing in chrome mixing bowl. Suet, chopped bacon, grated lemon zest, breadcrumbs and parsley.

This was my grandmother’s recipe, and its citrus flavour is a good contrast to the rich and meaty chestnut stuffing.

Equipment

  • Weighing scales
  • Frying pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Freezer bag

Preparation method

  • Fry the bacon rashers until crispy and allow to cool.
  • Chop the bacon and tip into the mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
  • Either stuff the turkey (tail end) immediately or, if you make the stuffing on Christmas Eve, put in the freezer bag and put in the fridge until needed.

Tip: To make breadcrumbs, the best way is to place chunks of bread into a blender and whizz. You may need to turn the blender off occasionally and push the bread pieces down with a wooden spoon.
