Back in the 1990's someone started making White Castle stuffing as a tribute to their favorite sliders. Was it a joke at first, or was there serious love behind it? We'll never know for sure...but we do know it's just awesome (trust me on this one).
Making White Castle Stuffing - The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 10 White Castle sliders (without pickles)
- 1½ cups diced celery
- 1¼ teaspoons ground thyme
- 1½ teaspoons ground sage
- ¾ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sliders: Tear the sliders into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl as you prepare to make white castle stuffing (I'm so formal).
2. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced celery, ground thyme, ground sage, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and mix thoroughly.
4. Stuff the Turkey: Use the mixture to stuff the cavity of your turkey just before roasting.
This recipe yields approximately 9 cups of stuffing, suitable for a 10-12 pound turkey. For optimal results, use one slider per pound of turkey, equating to about ¾ cup of stuffing per pound.

Alternatively, if you prefer to bake the white castle stuffing separately:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Transfer Mixture: Place the stuffing mixture into the prepared dish.
4. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a crispy top.
This method allows you to enjoy the stuffing as a side dish without stuffing the turkey.
