Yes, I saw the plastic from the bag and as you were adding and mixing I was saying to you but you didn't hear me! Haha. I knew you'd find it as you were stirring.
I so appreciate you, Renea. Girl, you know how to cook. I watch you all of the time. I learn something from you every video. I love to cook. I make just about everything from scratch. My son’s and their families know momma has something cooked about every day. My husband and I will be married 40 years in June. Love you Renea and family
I just turned 55, like Renea been cooking, baking & canning all my life. A mashed potato hack I picked up from some elderly ladies long ago was to chop my potatoes the night before, soak them overnight in salt water, then rinse. Gets the starch out. I add a small sweet onion to the pot. It makes the whitest potatoes & add nice flavor.
Miss Renea -- I love all you do -- thank you for sharing your home, family and especially all your wonderful recipes. You are such a pleasure to watch and I get so excited when I receive notification of a new video being posted. Also, my mom and I enjoyed cooking together and had so much as well. She was not only my mom, but my best friend. Have a beautiful holiday season!😘
Hi Renea!!! I was married 43 years before my dear husband ♡ passed almost 9 years ago( feel like 900 years). He always made the turkey and stuffing. I have never made a turkey in my life . Thanks for showing this video. Looks really delish. Don't know if I'll ever make one but I'm saving your video. I do have your wonderful cook book to refer to also!!! Great Video my sweet friend!!!...🦋
The best culinary I had growing up was my parents and family. It was beautiful growing up learning all types of cooking methods. Just like I watch you Renea and Itake in all your recipes and your ways of cooking and enjoy and love evey minute. Never to young or old to keep learning., so thank you.
Hi Renea and John! I make my dressing the same way, but I use chicken broth instead of water and cornbread. Everything looks delicious. Have a blessed day everyone!
We are all blessed that you chose to share your love of cooking with us. You are enjoyable and a pleasure to watch. Your personality is captivating and you have a sweet soul. I am always excited when you load a video. May God bless you and your family and may he keep all of you healthy and happy.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its great that you love to share. The stuffing/dressing is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I used my mom's "dump & stir" recipe for her stuffing. She loved Thanksgiving and I am honored to have learned to make it by smell and how it looks. The celery/onion/sage/poultry seasoning being sauted is my favorite childhood aroma that reminds me so much of my mom. ❤
My Mom made the best stuffing... her recipe was very similar to your Moms. It's hard at holidays but . I'm so glad she taught me so much about cooking.
Wonderful video! Looks delicious:) I have never made homemade creamed corn I will have to try that. Me and my husband had our second Thanksgiving this week and we really enjoyed it. We had Thanksgiving with my family and I wanted to have one for us here at home. I grew up watching my mom cook and so glad I learned how to cook when I was young. It certainly has paid off with experience and time you get better and better and get more creative also. I love cooking for my husband.Thank you for the video and I am a new subscriber!
Renee I understand losing your mom,I did also. I love making things that remind me of her! She also didn’t like to bake so I was the baker lol. She did teach me to cook and I learned things on my own! I love watching you! Have a great day!
Renea I have to say, I watch a few cooking channels and I would never cook anyone's recipes but yours. You are an amazing cook. I especially love how you make it so easy to make bread. That has always been intimidating to me. So thank you so much Renea and I feel blessed to have found your channel and I absolutely love it.
I adore you!!! You are a Blessing! This Thanksgiving, I cheated a little w/the stuffing. I mixed Stove Top with PF Cubes & added sweet sausage, celery & onions, no one knew... Your videos are wonderful!!! 🙏
My mom always used Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing so that's what I ALWAYS use, cause Mama did. You couldn't get me to change. LOL! My mom did the giblets too and we loved it but I just can't do it. LOL! I think a lot of younger people are scared of cooking a turkey but it really is so easy. Thanks for this (and every) video. Good morning from Oregon.
In the U.K., we serve turkey with Cranberry sauce, bread sauce, and pork stuffing balls or chestnut stuffing usually. Being from the NW of UK, we like thick gravy, roast potatoes cooked in goose fat, roasted honey parsnips, sprouts halved and cooked with bacon pieces (or garlic croutons), and mini sausages wrapped in bacon. I was taught to cook turkey on its breast in the foil tent method, like you demoed, but always cook stuffing separate to prevent food poisoning. I just pop an onion and a lemon in the cavity, as this is loose and air can move around it prevents cold spots. We turn it over and cover in bacon for the last 20mins of cooking. This was the method our big turkey producers advised me and I have to say breast down does produce the most moist bird. With mash I would never add milk, we like it thicker, just add butter! Nice to see how you do it over the pond!
My daughters (single mom here) love when I make something out of nothing!!! I measure with my heart. And we are all well fed. That’s what they learned!
I just love you sweet lady. You are always so upbeat and positive. You are a great teacher to those ladies that want to learn how to cook. Somehow I get this feeling that you could be a little ornry in you days. LOL Merry Christmas my friend. 👍❤🎄🦃
You are so much fun to watch and I learn something every time I watch you Renea…tonight it was the butter under the skin! wow did that meet look juicy. I get a kick out of how your hubby stands there and observes. And i never knew you also have to rinse the potatoes before they boil..thank you !!!! Hope you’re having a lovely evening ❤
We're the same age & I learned to cook from my grandmothers too. One was Italian and one was Polish, so I was lucky to learn so many different things! My favorite stuffing is my Italian grandma's recipe. I doctor it up just to make it simpler, but I use bagged or boxed stuffing, add roasted chestnuts, sausage, sauteed onion, celery and about a half of a granny Smith Apple. She used raisins but I prefer the apple. It gives a tiny bit of sweetness along with some texture. I don't stuff the turkey with it. (I use cut up oranges, lemons, onions in the turkey). I put it in a pan, dot it with butter and put it in the oven while the turkey rests. PS: I have that same pan and 2 others of different sizes. They were my Italian grandma's pans. I don't know how old they are but she passed in 1995. I'm 57 and I just always remember her having them. (The blue one with the white dots)
That turkey looks amazing so guess what Sunday's dinner is lol. Turkey and stuffing just got the turkey out to thaw. Thanks for your wonderful program ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Renea. I am not good putting words together but i love to watch your videos. Your family is very lucky to have you. I am from U.K. i would love to meet you but alas i wilkhave to carry on watching your videos. ❤
It's wonderful that you love to share. The stuffing I make is from my mom growing up. I make Oyster stuffing! I might have to try yours it sounds delicious!! Have a wonderful day!! God Bless you!
My mom and I always used all the turkey giblets / inners plus ground sausage meat in our stuffing , We are also German and both my great grandmothers came here from Germany ,did your mom ever make SAUERBRATEN .... Sour meat and potato balls , YUM .
Your turkey and stuffing looks delicious. That's exactly how my Mom cooked hers. Actually she cooked it all night long on a low setting I would hear her up and down checking on it. Up early to it increase the temperature. We smell it cook all night. I sure ,miss her and her cooking. Thank you Renea. ❤ Your tree looks pretty🌲
U r so right Renee! Those pop up sensors they give in the turkeys r not trustworthy at all. I have had several that never popped up at all because they got jammed up. And then there were times that they prematurely popped. Always check ur temps in several locations for urself properly and save urself some grief lol. I bought several turkeys and turkey breasts cheap before Thanksgiving to can and use for meat all year long! This is the time of year I love to stock up!
HI Renee! J love watching you cook. I was watching this video and kept seeing white flakes falling through the air. Just wondering if I was seeing things ? Btw, this recipe looks delish!
Hi, I have suggestion. If you take a couple pieces of cheese cloth approximately 18 - 20 inches long. Cut and place on a platter, open cloth wide place by the large serving spoonful. You really do not have to worry about the texture, mine is a little looser than yours. You tie both ends of the cloth in knots, and stuff your bird. The stuffing steams in the bird, without going through the bird. Either type of stuffing homemade or semi - homemade works well. Hope this will help anyone that does not feel comfortable stuffing a bird or just likes an easy clean-up. Caution: when you get ready to remove the stuffing. Let it set in the bird 20 - 30 minutes. I usually baste one last time. Then with 2 - large serving forks pull out slowly. If too much steam from the stuffing let rest another 10 - 15 minutes. Cut one the end and spoon it out. Large serving spoon works well. Hope this helps. God - Bless!
Love your enthusiasm! Don't forget the extra Giblets chopped. oh man, hope she finds that extra piece of plastic from the bag. lol "we don't want that in there". Tried to direct sister with a 'share', told her you show the page. Because I bought her your book. Maybe for Xmas meal! Hey Mr. Wayna.45 F in MN. mild winter so far.
My mom always used milk in her stuffing instead of water and about a dozen small eggs in the stuffing. I don't use milk much at all so i use chicken broth and use 2-3 sticks of butter depending on the size of the bird. I boil the giblets and cut them up tiny for the kitties and give them the broth from boiling them. So i taught my daughter how to make it my way. It tastes about the same. I do double wrap my bird in foil before i put it in the roasting pan. Unwrapp about 2 hours before its done and baste it while it's browning. Never had a dry bird EVER!
I had quite a bit of meat theft this year and didn't want to lose it. I canned it up. Great to use for all kinds of things. It's already to use. Also cooked up my carcus and got the most beautiful broth. Used that in with my meat and canned up the rest.
Good morning!! My husband is German/Scottish and so am I, with Irish, English, Native American in there somewhere..lol..your hubby is so funny..😂hubby says I make better turkey and stuffing better than is mom.😂 As I watch you making turkey and talking about your cooking memories of your mom makes my heart full❤. I see some light spots falling around you. Like snow...your mom is with you..tears coming down my face. Looks so good..I bet your house smells so good.😊😋
I stuff both ends too. But, I find it easier to turn the bird breast down and stuff the neck end then pull that skin over it and slide my turkey from end to end turn it back over and stuff the other end. The skin will be tucked under the bird holding the stuffing in the neck end and my mom taught me to stick the heal of a piece of bread over the end of that stuffed end to hold the stuffing in,( but, I don't always do the heal thing)
I haven’t roasted a whole turkey, in years, since I learned about spatchcocking a bird; that’s the only way I cook chicken and turkey nowadays. All the skin gets crispy and it cooks in half the time. I make dressing instead of stuffing and I make a batch once or twice a year just to portion out and freeze; dressing ready for any meal.
Men cook, too. I’ve been cooking/baking/canning almost 30 years and do all the cooking/baking/canning for my family. It’s not just women that watch your channel; remember that.
Happy Holidays! That looks fantastic! I am German descent as well and wanted to know if you ever made something what we called pffefer sousa? To me it is like a German salsa.Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day!
Hi Renea and John! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Taught me how to make much better dressing. I can't wait to try it! Also I cannot wait to see your Christmas cookies ❤
Ok....i haven't seen in the comments anything close to my family's stuffing. It's a Scandinavian recipe. Don't get grossed out but it's the only stuffing we make. It's also been a rite of passage for new suiters to join the family! 😂😂😂. There are no measurements. Ready?...... you mix old fashioned oats, chopped onions, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Next, are you ready? 1 1/2 pints of saved bacon grease. Mix well and stuff the bird. If its a little dry add some chicken broth. 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤It is so delicious.
Hello Renee Holidays. As I was watching your video in the beginning, it looked like it was snowing or feathers flying lol unless it was my eyes Anyway You are amazing Thank You
I use STS and I boil my neck bone and chicken gizzards with celery & onion, then chop it up and add to the STS mix, add poultry seasoning and call it a day, it was passed down from my grandmother.
You had turkey for Thanksgiving and now again, so what do you have for Christmas? My son didn't want to have Thanksgiving this year, so we are having turkey for Christmas, which he wants to do. This will be his first time doing it. Fingers crossed 🤞 💛 from 🇨🇦.
Lord willing I will see 62 next month - I’ve been cooking since 12-my mom worked and was a single parent- but I cook mainly from smell and taste - I need to measure better as my son and grandchildren want my recipes lol- I learned a lot from my grandmother and 50 years of practice - but I learn stuff from you still - bread scares me I wanna learn that now
@@LittleVillageHomestead It floated like snow. Odd that you didn’t see it at the time, I have chills. Wonder if it was your mom sending you Blessings from Heaven.
Renee I have a question but it doesn't pertain to this video I watched one of your very old videos where you were freezing soup in plastic cups I was wondering if you could use the styrofoam cups as well
Hi Renea! I know you don't mean anything by it but don't think it's just all young ladies watching your videos. I'm a 59 year old father that's been watching your videos for several years and although I've been cooking forever, I can always learn something new from you! Thanks and keep doing what you do! You and your family are so enjoyable to watch and you're such a great teacher! BTW, Mr Wayna is a lucky man to have you and you for him!
I really am sorry. I never gave it much thought. The two ladies asked me to make this video so I addressed them without even considering the men. I know you have been with me for several years and I so appreciate you. I really meant no offence to anyone.
No, no, no.......None taken at all! Just wanted you to know your audience is wider than you may have thought! I really enjoy your channel!@@LittleVillageHomestead
I think “back then” most oven were gas and not electric and sautéing veggies wasn’t necessary. Those ovens were HOT. I’d love to have my mother’s old oven.
Hi Renea, how are you? I have a bit of a conundrum. I want to confit some garlic but every where I look I get different instructions. I know that if it isn't done right there is a risk of food poisoning.The problem seems to be that oil is a non-acidic environment and that allows toxins to grow on the garlic if stored out side of the fridge and you can only store it in the fridge for a short period of time. So I thought there is only one person I trust to tell me if and or how I can get around this problem. I know you know what your doing and I trust your instruction,can you help me?
Most recipes are wonderful and safe, however, it is in the storing where folks get into trouble. Once you finish your garlic confit you will need to cool it is fast as possible then it needs to be stored in the fridge and it will last for months in the fridge. I know some say only a few weeks but it will last months. It is not shelf stable for the pantry and will never be.
It is not recommended because some folks tend to undercook the turkey which will result in a bird full of salmonella. You CAN stuff the turkey, but you MUST ensure the inside of the stuffing reaches 165°.
The turkey looks lovely. But I don't like any meat juicy because I think of that is not done! I like all meat, chicken, turkey, burgers dry and then to me they are done.
Well there is a difference between juice and moist. I don't like juicy either because it is most likely uncooked, however, a moist piece is done to perfection and never dry.
Many of you have commented that I dropped plastic in the stuffing. I did find it further in the video as I was mixing the stuffing. 😊
Hey hun can you show us how to do a spiral ham in the oven without any sweet stuff added to it?
Yep, I was waiting for you to find it. I knew you would.
😂❤😂❤
Wow .99 was the cheapest here in Pa.
Yes, I saw the plastic from the bag and as you were adding and mixing I was saying to you but you didn't hear me! Haha.
I knew you'd find it as you were stirring.

I just turned 55, like Renea been cooking, baking & canning all my life. A mashed potato hack I picked up from some elderly ladies long ago was to chop my potatoes the night before, soak them overnight in salt water, then rinse. Gets the starch out. I add a small sweet onion to the pot. It makes the whitest potatoes & add nice flavor.

I love your style of cooking. Your turkey looks beautiful and delicious. Mashed potatoes look good to. Love your videos. Jane Happy holidays.
In the U.K., we serve turkey with Cranberry sauce, bread sauce, and pork stuffing balls or chestnut stuffing usually. Being from the NW of UK, we like thick gravy, roast potatoes cooked in goose fat, roasted honey parsnips, sprouts halved and cooked with bacon pieces (or garlic croutons), and mini sausages wrapped in bacon. I was taught to cook turkey on its breast in the foil tent method, like you demoed, but always cook stuffing separate to prevent food poisoning. I just pop an onion and a lemon in the cavity, as this is loose and air can move around it prevents cold spots. We turn it over and cover in bacon for the last 20mins of cooking.

Beautiful turkey Renea. thanks for the recipe on the poultry seasoning. Happy Holidays !
My dad used to make turkey in a brown paper bag and that was the best, juiciest and crisp turkey ever
Good morning from Philadelphia!
Good Morning ❤Thank you for the shape holding tid bit on the stuffing
I love watching your videos I learn so much from you thank you from Philadelphia

I did not see that until I was editing and I thought my word someone is around me.
I thought the same thing when I saw those too!

Mmm Mmm. Turkey & dressing planned for this weekend coming up. Canning the leftovers & making bone broth too. 😊
I stuff both ends too. But, I find it easier to turn the bird breast down and stuff the neck end then pull that skin over it and slide my turkey from end to end turn it back over and stuff the other end. The skin will be tucked under the bird holding the stuffing in the neck end and my mom taught me to stick the heal of a piece of bread over the end of that stuffed end to hold the stuffing in,( but, I don't always do the heal thing)

Ready?...... you mix old fashioned oats, chopped onions, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Next, are you ready? 1 1/2 pints of saved bacon grease. Mix well and stuff the bird. If its a little dry add some chicken broth. 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤It is so delicious.
Renee ..if you know how to make Pickles..
I would love for you to show us..
Love love your channel..❤️❤️
Hello Renee Holidays. As I was watching your video in the beginning, it looked like it was snowing or feathers flying lol unless it was my eyes Anyway You are amazing Thank You
I have no idea what it is bit it looks like little bright orbs.
I use STS and I boil my neck bone and chicken gizzards with celery & onion, then chop it up and add to the STS mix, add poultry seasoning and call it a day, it was passed down from my grandmother.
Love your videos and I love stuffed turkey. But you dropped a peace of the bag in it. I hope that you find it.
I did find it when I was mixing the stuffing. Thank goodness.
You had turkey for Thanksgiving and now again, so what do you have for Christmas?
My son didn't want to have Thanksgiving this year, so we are having turkey for Christmas, which he wants to do. This will be his first time doing it.
Fingers crossed 🤞
💛 from 🇨🇦.
We will have ham for Christmas dinner.
If you're going to use store-bought broth, best to use low sodium!
I make a butter with a little bit of sage mixed and in and rub it all over the outside of the Turkey and under the skin.
Lord willing I will see 62 next month - I’ve been cooking since 12-my mom worked and was a single parent- but I cook mainly from smell and taste - I need to measure better as my son and grandchildren want my recipes lol- I learned a lot from my grandmother and 50 years of practice - but I learn stuff from you still - bread scares me I wanna learn that now
Nice video
You missed a piece of plastic from the stuffing bag fall in. I’m waiting for u to find it now. Yes, I yelled out at the tv when it happened. 😂
It looks like it’s snowing in your kitchen. I keep trying to figure out what’s flying around. I know you always have a humidifier running.
I was wondering too! ❄️
I have no idea what that is. I never seen it until I stated editing the video.
@@LittleVillageHomestead It floated like snow. Odd that you didn’t see it at the time, I have chills. Wonder if it was your mom sending you Blessings from Heaven.
Also, it's me again. What kind of knives do you use because you are cutting through those potatoes like they're butter
I use Rada knives
that looks awesome my mom said stop basting your turkey with butter can't make gravy I am like so I hate gravy lol
I use a cooking bag for turkey. Plus I pour melted bacon grease all over turkey. I make two separate dressings. Plain with herbs &oyster dressing.
Renee I have a question but it doesn't pertain to this video I watched one of your very old videos where you were freezing soup in plastic cups I was wondering if you could use the styrofoam cups as well
I tried that years and years ago but it did not work as well as the plastic.
Hi Renea! I know you don't mean anything by it but don't think it's just all young ladies watching your videos. I'm a 59 year old father that's been watching your videos for several years and although I've been cooking forever, I can always learn something new from you! Thanks and keep doing what you do! You and your family are so enjoyable to watch and you're such a great teacher! BTW, Mr Wayna is a lucky man to have you and you for him!
I really am sorry. I never gave it much thought. The two ladies asked me to make this video so I addressed them without even considering the men. I know you have been with me for several years and I so appreciate you. I really meant no offence to anyone.
No, no, no.......None taken at all! Just wanted you to know your audience is wider than you may have thought! I really enjoy your channel!@@LittleVillageHomestead
I think “back then” most oven were gas and not electric and sautéing veggies wasn’t necessary. Those ovens were HOT. I’d love to have my mother’s old oven.
... if I may ask, did your Mother and Grandmother from Germany also make Goose for the Holidays?
Yes they both did.
Super😋
Hi Renea, how are you? I have a bit of a conundrum. I want to confit some garlic but every where I look I get different instructions. I know that if it isn't done right there is a risk of food poisoning.The problem seems to be that oil is a non-acidic environment and that allows toxins to grow on the garlic if stored out side of the fridge and you can only store it in the fridge for a short period of time. So I thought there is only one person I trust to tell me if and or how I can get around this problem. I know you know what your doing and I trust your instruction,can you help me?
Most recipes are wonderful and safe, however, it is in the storing where folks get into trouble. Once you finish your garlic confit you will need to cool it is fast as possible then it needs to be stored in the fridge and it will last for months in the fridge. I know some say only a few weeks but it will last months. It is not shelf stable for the pantry and will never be.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to know. I knew I could count on you@@LittleVillageHomestead
Don't you let your turkey rest a few hours before you slice it?
❤❤❤😊
I hope you found the plastic that went into your stuffing!
I did right as I was mixing the stuffing.
Renee, part of the stuffing bag is in the pan!!!!!
I found it as I was mixing the stuffing.
@@LittleVillageHomestead Yes I saw as I finished watching. Turkey looked great!
Where is your apron?
WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE POULTRY SEASONING?
I will put it in my spice container.
My Mum was was and still is the best cook
Not a great baker though
Did anyone else see that top piece of plastic from the first bag go in there and then wait for how long it took for her to find it? 😜
I found it while mixing the stuffing. Lol
Why don't you allow the bird to rest after removal from the oven instead of hacking it up right away , and what no gravy ?
Apparently, you no nothing on editing. Lol
We are told NOT to stuff the turkey. Bake your stuffing in a baking dish instead.
It is not recommended because some folks tend to undercook the turkey which will result in a bird full of salmonella. You CAN stuff the turkey, but you MUST ensure the inside of the stuffing reaches 165°.
I. Can’t Eat. A. Lot. OF. Those. Season. You. See. I. Have. CANCER. That. Hurt. Me. Real. Bad. IF. I. Eat. Something. Wrong. God. Bless❤❤❤❤
The turkey looks lovely. But I don't like any meat juicy because I think of that is not done!
I like all meat, chicken, turkey, burgers dry and then to me they are done.
Well there is a difference between juice and moist. I don't like juicy either because it is most likely uncooked, however, a moist piece is done to perfection and never dry.
Is it me or little white fluffs floating around?
I seen them when I was editing and I have no idea what they are.
@LittleVillageHomestead lol I thought it was a snow falling photo editing 🤣
Hi Renea there are lots of Orbs on your video so maybe your mom and grandma were watching over you while you were cooking
