Serves: 1-2
Prep Time: 1-30m
Difficulty: easy
Backpacking: Yes
Ingredients
- 2 pkgs turkey gravy
- 1 can of turkey
- 1 box of stuffing
Instructions
At home: Transfer the stuffing from the box into a 1/2 gallon ziplock bag. Have a least 2 cups of stuffing per person. Add the gravy packages (still in their packages, of course) and the can of turkey. Seal
Fish out the gravy packets and turkey can from the bag. Leave the stuffing in the bag.
Boil water, 1 cup per person.
Pour boiling wate into the ziplock bag with the stuffing. Knead the stuffing to mix, seal the bag, and set aside. If the weather is cold, wrap the bag in a towel to keep it warm.
In the pot, prepare gravy mixes according to package directions. When the gravy is hot, open the can of turkey and stir into the gravy. Simmer just until the turkey is heated. About 2 minutes.
Spoon stuffing into everyone's bowls, then spoon turkey/gravy mix over the stuffing.
Super Lightweight Style: Forget the turkey, just use gravy. Been there done that, but it's just not as satisfying somehow.
Crackers add a nice crunch to this meal. Serve hot orange drink. No bake peanut butter pie adds a nice touch.
