You are absolutely right.

As usual.

Publix carries Bell's and they weren't sold out today, there were around 8 boxes in the Thanksgiving product display up front.

They also carry Bell's stuffing (similar to Stove Top, except Bell's).

It may be helpful to specify the location, since there are about 8 Publix stores in The Villages area.

Our stuffing consists of chopped up onions, celery, carrots, and apples sautéed in butter and olive oil with lots of garlic and bells seasoning. I then add some chicken stock and mix in Arnold’s stuffing mix. Half goes in the bird and the other half is cooked in a casserole dish. The key is to not pack the stuffing too tight in the bird, so that it gets heated to a safe temperature to kill any possible salmonella. We never tell my vegetarian sisters about the chicken stock, and they rave about the stuffing.

The birds neck and giblets get boiled down, along with a bunch of spices (including some bells seasoning), to make the gravy stock. I also deglaze the turkey pan and use the drippings to enhance the gravy flavor. And the gravy is thickened with a roux made from the turkey fat and flour.

It’s going to be a lot of work this year to only feed 5 (rather than the usual 35) people. Cooking a small 12 pound bird this year instead of the usual 30 plus pounder. At least I won’t have to set the alarm at a ridiculously early hour to get the bird in the oven. And best of all, a Covid silver lining, is that I won’t have to listen to all my moonbat sisters bitching about politics this year, so I got that going for me : )

Plenty at Publix, Southern Trace, Thanksgiving products area between front doors and deli.

I just received my Bell’s seasoning from Bell’s in the mail.
Now I can finally relax. :icon_wink:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. 🦃
