This Amish Turkey Stuffing Recipe is a classic dish, made up of delicious bread, onions, potatoes, chicken, eggs and milk with the perfect amount of seasoning.
It's a popular dish served at Amish weddings (particularly in Lancaster County), also known as Amish roast (or roasht).
Amish stuffing is already full of the chicken (or turkey), it helps stretch the meal further by mixing it all together. In fact, in a lot of Amish homes, this dish would be served instead of roasting a turkey separately and serving with stuffing or dressing on the side.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas
- Mashed Potatoes - instead of potato cubes.
- Poultry Seasoning - instead of just celery salt.
- Brown Butter - browning your butter before drizzling onto the bread will give it a great nutty flavor.
- French Bread - if you don't make homemade bread use this (or text toast bread).
- Fresh Herbs - Any mixture of fresh herbs tastes great with a stuffing.

Mel's kitchen notes
This recipe is also great for stuffing your turkey. Fill the cavity of the turkey as much as you can with the stuffing then serve the remainder on the side.
Frequently asked questions: FAQs
The eggs help hold or bind the ingredients together nicely. If you don't use eggs, it's likely the ingredients will become crumbly.
You can use any form of chicken meat (or nice and moist turkey). If you have some breasts, or thigh meat.... just use what you have, or can get. I love to use a Rotisserie chicken, just to make things easier.
