Hala-kahiki (Pineapple) Hawaiian Turkey Stuffing

By barbgreenfield

Several years ago I decided to do a "Nationwide Thanksgiving" for my family. I tried to cook each dish to represent a different location in the USA. This stuffing is very, very Hawaiian. I found that when you cook it inside the turkey, the turkey gets a really sweet and wonderful taste to it. One other tip to really bring out the sweet taste is to separate the skin from the bird before you cook it and slide sliced pineapple rings in between the skin and the meat.

Ingredients

• 1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple
• 1 sm. can pineapple rings
• 8 eggs
• 15 slices bread, remove crust & dice
• 2 C. sugar
• 1 1/2 C. butter

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter, sugar and egg; then add the crushed pineapple and bread. Mix by hand to thick consistency. Pour into baking dish, then place pineapple rings on top, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 1 hour and 10 minutes at 325 degrees.
