Skillet means frying pan. Bread stuffing can't have enough sage. The more the better. Chicken broth and chicken stock are different things but are completely interchangeable in this usage.
I have never seen eggs added to stuffing before, maybe try adding chopped celery to the stuffing. :-) Here is a very typical American stuffing recipe below. Also, we add dried fruit (cranberries) and sometimes sausage to make a richer stuffing. Lots of variations. Its fun watching your reaction to what is typically a very festive celebration (hence all the sugar, butter and eggs). Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey Stuffing Ingredients 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. 4 onions, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups) 5 stalks celery, coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups) 1 large bulb fennel, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups), optional. Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage.
"We used the Google" lol. That tickled me. I appreciate the amount of work you're putting into this dinner. I can't tell you how many times I see someone attempt an American Thanksgiving but they put no effort into it. Then they complain that it's a mediocre dinner, well no kidding! In my house, we usually start preparing for Thanksgiving dinner that Monday. The only thing you were missing was the mashed potatoes to go with the gravy and the cranberry sauce. There are a ton of videos on You Tube of people making their Thanksgiving dinner or just of the day. If you're interested, try doing a search for Thanksgiving dinner and see what comes up. Maybe you won't get the videos over there that we get here, idk but it's worth a shot.
We done our best but we’ve learned so much since this, not bad for a first attempt. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment. We hope you have a great holiday season 😊
We call it stuffing when it's made with bread, dressing is made with cornbread. Our dressing is made with chunks of chicken and sausage in it. The day before Thanksgiving, we boil a whole chicken with seasonings and assorted veggies. We then debone the chicken and use some of the meat and stock for the dressing and the rest for chicken and dumplings. The only thing we stuff our turkey with is onion, garlic, celery, lemon, orange and herbs. Maple syrup is fine to use in your pecan pie, you could also use golden syrup (use same amount as Karo/corn syrup). The filling in pecan pies is too sweet for me, but I love the pecans...so my oldest sister makes a special one for me, it has half the filling and double the pecans. Broth/stock...same difference. Well done guys!
As an American, my family prefers to be be different. Ham for Thanksgiving Turkey for Christmas. BTW, beautiful job. It doesn't matter what you create. It only matters that you're grateful for what you have...friends, family etc... One can can have a simple simple balogna or sausage and be thankful for our abundance.
Best comment!!!! I was brought up with the “be grateful for what you have, and don’t complain about what you don’t.” And you are so right. You can have anything for thanksgiving dinner. You can make it what you want. Life is too short to worry about the rest.
I love this bc every family in America across ethnicities and locations is very different. My mom cooked very traditional American because it was the only day she wouldn’t be judged for her “American” cooking, no one would really know!
You you are so cute to try and cook Thanksgiving dinner. You are a success ❤️! When making stuffing pour the melted butter on the bread crumbs and mix. Add your onions minus the herbs. You don't ne cessarily have to cook onions but chop them fine if you don't cook them so you won't get raw onion taste. Then add your herbs and seasonings then eggs and cold broth or stock. You are done after thoroughly mixing everything together!
Well, at least you tried. I must say that Thanksgiving in the USA is about giving Thanks to God for all the blessings in your life especially over the last year. Since it was created by the Pilgrims, one of the main decorations should be images of Pilgrims since we also use Thanksgiving these days to celebrate their struggles and survival.
You all did a great job trying to recreate some of the dishes we eat for Thanksgiving, however you forgot one of the main things....gravy for the turkey and stuffing! Where's the gravy? You got to have gravy! Maybe next year huh?!
6:12 "It Looks Runny" That's normal, actually Don't worry, it'll stiffen up a little bit, to more of a gelatin-like consistency and once it's baked, it'll be the consistency of a custard
We never put marshmallows in our sweet potato casserole and we use bread crumbs and corn bread crumbs along with sausage in our dressing..it's not in big bread chunks like that..and you didn't have cranberry sauce.....try it next time! We make our own cranberry sauce using chunk pineapple and walnuts, almost like a chutney
to get chicken broth put a chicken in water and let it boil we having chicken & dressing/mashed potatoes brown gravy of course/grilled corn/green bean casserole/ ham /pumpkin bread/pumpkin pie/cherry pie/and you cant have all of that without homemade rolls
In Europe, you can use golden syrup in place of corn syrup. It's a lot cheaper than maple syrup, and it is about equally viscous (maple syrup is much runnier than corn syrup).
You have cane syrup & it’s a perfectly acceptable & even preferable substitution for corn syrup Maple syrup is also fine. It just adds an extra layer of flavor The food looked delicious. Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing job!!!! Looks delicious!!! You could always use golden syrup instead of corn syrup…pecan pie is essentially treacle tart with pecans on top!! Better warm with ice cream though!! Well done to you both!!!
Lyle's Golden Syrup would have worked in place of the corn syrup. Still, the one you did with maple syrup looked perfect. There are so many different recipes for stuffing, you could make a different one for every day in the year without repeating anything. One Thanksgiving staple you didn't make was pumpkin pie. If you do this again next year, maybe you could try it. I don't know how hard it would be to get canned pumpkin in the UK, though. You can make it from fresh pumpkin, but it's a lot of work. Thanks for this entertaining video!
That all looked great. We Americans appreciate extra gravy, too, to moisten all of the baked goodness. My family's Thanksgiving would include mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce. I've been enjoying watching others try our American Thanksgiving this year. (Even though I realize yours is from last year.) Thank you.
Technically, you didn’t have stuffing. You guys made dressing. Which I like better. Dressing is made on the side, stuffing is “stuffed” in the turkey. Add sage sausage to your dressing next time.. Where was the gravy btw? However, excellent menu.
Next time celery in the stuffing and maybe some hard-boiled eggs, I'm not a fan of pecan pie i prefer pumpkin myself otherwise good job I'm always impressed when somebody tries thanksgiving. I'm thankful for seeing this video, it reminds me that i am lucky for who is in my life and who I've lost
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. You two did a great job cooking the first of what I hope to be many Thanksgiving meals together. The fun thing about cooking is you make it to suit your tastes, It can be as plain or as fancy as you want. And yes Jason, lube is important - I almost wet myself when you said that. Thankful for family, friends, job that I love and our health, Be Safe and Be Well
Definitely try adding chopped celery (sauteed with the onion) to your dressing next time. I think that is a pretty traditional ingredient to stuffings/dressings.
Happy Thanksgiving Boyz!!!! You both did an incredible job guys! The stuffing should have had sauteed diced celery & more chicken broth (stock), the sweet potato casserole was missing pineapple chunks & the marshmellows are optional. I find that they make the sweet potatoes almost sickningly sweet. The sauteed green beans could have been decorated with sliced almonds. You just needed either whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. A skillet is a frying pan you'd used on a stove or cooktop. None of these things are criticisms, just helpful hints for different results. Question, why is corn syrup band in the UK?
Hope you had a great one Ken??? It seems we missed a lot out on our food - I think the recipe we used was a basic one 😂 we can only assume it’s because it’s not very good for you?
@@JJExtra lots of variances. Every one has their favorite ways. And the side choices and desserts are endless. I think you selected some good ones with your availability/options and just the two of you.
being an estadounidense from the south I've never had sweet potato w/marshmallows, my mother always made sweet potato casserole with the brown sugar/pecan/coconut streusel topping something i like doing is making a turkey pot pie with all the leftovers, i have a recipe that calls for the stuffing to be used for the crust the difference between stock & broth; i think stock is made from the bones and broth is made from the meat but what about vegetable stock, does veg have bones?
Hi, guys. First I loooove listening to your British accents! You did pretty well with most of your meal. But, here in the south part of the USA, we typically use corn bread for the basic part of our stuffing. We add onion, celery, salt and pepper, and, of course chicken stock. Then it all goes inside the turkey. Most people have certain routines for how long the turkey stays in the oven (did you call the oven a "hob"? We typically buy a huge turkey, so there is plenty of room for the stuffing. We use a lot of gravy on top of most anything! So, guys, your turkey meal was well done! In the northern states, they use just bread and other gross stuff. Like oysters. I just can't eat stuffing made like that! Oh, and the flag and maple leaf additions were great! See you on your next blog. Stay well!
You must be talking about New York, Boston or Jersey cause up here in Cleveland we eat a Soul Food Thanksgiving I ain't never heard nobody eat no damn oysters on Thanksgiving that's just a travesty
You both did a great job. Don’t be discouraged if a recipe for an item didn’t turn out the way you liked. Every family in the us has their own special way of doing things and we’ve had generations to perfect them to our liking. I’ve had a drivers licence in 5 states and lived in other countries, which makes me appreciate the differences in our food bibles.
Cranberry sauce, cranberry relish, pumpkin pie (with or without ice cream/whip cream), cornmeal cakes, mashed potatoes, ham, hot apple cider, maybe apple pie, creamy potatoes or beans, jello fruit salad , green salad with crushed walnuts, and maybe some obligatory Tofurkey for the vegan relatives. Other special options, also, from contributing relatives.
We chop our onions finer and always add finely chopped celery for the dressing/stuffing! It’s called stuffing if you stuff it into the bird, but dressing if you put it into a separate dish as you did! And we always have mashed potatoes and gravy! We also enjoy green bean casserole, not just plain beans.Pumpkin pie with whipped cream is more traditional depending on where in the States you live. A Grandma…🇺🇸💕
Never put eggs nor flour in my yams and I always have cinnamon in mine and next time yall need to try green bean casserole with all the Thanksgiving food but way to go guys
It was so much fun watching you guys get this meal prepped and enjoying Thanksgiving! Nicole and I have never had a sweet potato casserole that we liked. Also. . . Nicole mentioned the lack of cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes. In addition to pecan pie, we do apple pie and pumpkin pie. . . we feel pecan pie is more southern U.S
We had cranberry sauce but completely forgot to use it 😂 😂 we was going to do mash potato but felt as their was only two of us we didn’t want to make too much food as Jason won’t eat it as it was his ‘treat day’ as he says haha! Pumpkin pie was on our list but couldn’t get the stuff we needed 😔
I loveeddd this!! One thing I noticed right away was a thick" TURKEY GRAVY" lol! I actually think chicken stock is 100% better than chicken broth! The stuffing could of used more stock. And like the other comments I have seen on here celery, sage rosemary and thyme w the onions. You both are beautiful and I enjoyed watching the whole video. Maybe one day you can go to a friends here in the U.S and share your experience at Thanksgiving. Thanks again for the smiles!
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed trying it and we don’t think we done too bad for our first attempt but which much rather be out there with some of our friends and have them cook for us 😂🤣
In my family we bake the sweet potatoes the way you would a potato and eat them with a bit of butter. Baking them brings out the sugar. They don't need anything else.
1:10 "There's A Lot Of Ingredients That Are Traditional To An American Thanksgiving Meal That We Can't Get, Because They're Banned Or They're Difficult To Get Here" That's quite alright, lads. You just have to do the best with what you have on hand, I'm certain that it'd be just as good, regardless
Cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, and deviled eggs. Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie. Sometimes chicken and dumplings. i would always get blackberry dumplings too. Potato salad, cole slaw, and a big juicy ham. Thanksgiving was all about family and food. Mom would cook for 2 days and Dad would take all the credit. Our front door would be open all day. Family would start pouring in at about 9 am. My Dad had 9 siblings and Mom had 16. Not all would come over but we still hosted somewhere between 50 and 75 guests every year. Christmas would be spent with an uncle or friends house at dinner time.
4:59 Since corn syrup is banned in the European Union, the Maple syrup does make a fine substitute. I personally prefer Maple syrup in my pecan pie, anyway I find it's more flavorful than the corn syrup
There actually is a very old-fashioned recipe for pecan pie that does not use corn syrup. It is pre-corn syrup days and makes the filling more like custard.
13:03 Using chicken stock for the dressing is acceptable, too. In fact, it's even better to use chicken stock instead of chicken broth, as it's a more concentrated flavor
This was a great video. Everything looked so yummy. This was an American Thanksgiving from beginning to end. I love your cooking segments. Have a great day. Some friends are bring over a plate of food later in the day. But I will be celebrating by myself and Charlie because Covid-19 is very active where I live. Take care. Happy Thanksgiving.
You are both adorable. Late commenting because while I was scrolling for alternatives to recipes { food shortages this year} I spotted this video. I knew your pie was going to be fine. Pecan Pie is a southern thing, and you put love in it, top ingredient in all southern cooking. I would recommend trying some cornbread dressing recipes, Cornbread dressing has a different consistency, than stuffing, and a very savory flavor. Its buttery, salty, and herby, Yum. My whole family basically lives for it on Thanksgiving. Loved the lube comment, died laughing. Before eating we typically go round the table asking everyone what they are thankful for each year. A couple years ago, (we have three teen daughters} My middle girl announced proudly that she was thankful for "Hot Asian boys".
Hi Stephenie, thank you so much for such an amazing comment 😊 we will have to try thanksgiving again and go bigger and better. Love your daughters comment, that made us laugh 😂
I'm new to your channel so I'm going through your older posts. You must have cranberry sauce with turkey (the canned jellied version is perfect) and gravy is needed as turkey can be dry. For most Americans no meal is complete without mashed potatoes enjoying your posts, especially your garden improvements.
thanks to you both and i am thankful for my life and my husband and family and friends and my job and the chance to see you both and you have me smile again.. lots of love from the USA and here in Tenn. Have a great day every day .
That meal looked absolutely delicious when we can all meet up you can come round and use our kitchen and cook it for me and Sharon x So funny you got the lube comment in lol 😂

Turkey Stuffing Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter.
4 onions, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
5 stalks celery, coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 large bulb fennel, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups), optional.
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary.
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage.
I don't think they made any turkey gravy either to put on the stuffing and turkey meat.
You need to warm the pecan pie 🥧, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then add whipped cream. That’s the best way to eat pecan pie.
you 100% rght
We did plan to do this but never brought the cream or ice cream 😞
Yes the only true way to eat it 😊 when it’s made right it’s heavenly even tho too sweet for me

This was a great video. Everything looked so yummy. This was an American Thanksgiving from beginning to end. I love your cooking segments. Have a great day. Some friends are bring over a plate of food later in the day. But I will be celebrating by myself and Charlie because Covid-19 is very active where I live. Take care. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks jeff and thanks again for the tips on what to do.
@@JJExtra My pleasure.
You are both adorable. Late commenting because while I was scrolling for alternatives to recipes { food shortages this year} I spotted this video. I knew your pie was going to be fine. Pecan Pie is a southern thing, and you put love in it, top ingredient in all southern cooking. I would recommend trying some cornbread dressing recipes, Cornbread dressing has a different consistency, than stuffing, and a very savory flavor. Its buttery, salty, and herby, Yum. My whole family basically lives for it on Thanksgiving. Loved the lube comment, died laughing. Before eating we typically go round the table asking everyone what they are thankful for each year. A couple years ago, (we have three teen daughters} My middle girl announced proudly that she was thankful for "Hot Asian boys".
Hi Stephenie, thank you so much for such an amazing comment 😊 we will have to try thanksgiving again and go bigger and better. Love your daughters comment, that made us laugh 😂
I'm new to your channel so I'm going through your older posts. You must have cranberry sauce with turkey (the canned jellied version is perfect) and gravy is needed as turkey can be dry. For most Americans no meal is complete without mashed potatoes enjoying your posts, especially your garden improvements.
Thanks for the tips! 😊 & welcome to our channel! Ah yes those garden projects was great fun 🤩 thanks for watching
thanks to you both and i am thankful for my life and my husband and family and friends and my job and the chance to see you both and you have me smile again.. lots of love from the USA and here in Tenn. Have a great day every day .
Great things to be thankful for! Be safe!
That meal looked absolutely delicious when we can all meet up you can come round and use our kitchen and cook it for me and Sharon x So funny you got the lube comment in lol 😂
You know what Jason’s like 😂
guys the the table decorations looks awesome
Thanks 😊
Yes, chicken broth is the same thing as chicken stock. And the skillet is the frying pan, not the hob.
Ohhhh. . . hob. . . I thought they said hog. . . which seemed really weird to me. . . and my wife and I just call everything a pan. . . ha ha
