Mexican Turkey Stuffing

Mexican Turkey Stuffing by MexFoodJournal

Mexican turkey stuffing is usually made with ground beef and pork and without any breadcrumbs. This is a stovetop stuffing. You don’t cook it in the oven with the bird. You can make it a day ahead of time and it will taste even better. Just reheat and serve. Provecho!

Ingredients

  • ½ lb. ground beef
  • ½ lb. ground pork
  • 7 ozs. bacon
  • 3 hotdogs
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup whole almonds

  • 1 cup pitted prunes
  • 1 large white onion
  • 4 large celery stalks
  • 2 large red apples
  • 1 cup sliced green olives
