This is my mother’s recipe given down through generations. This recipe can be used for any poultry, including Turkey. The chicken liver is optional, for me it brings back memories to my Bavarian and Franconian roots
I remember my childhood, I would get up early on Sunday morning and my mother would put some cooked “Fülle” Stuffing to the side for me to eat before the chicken is filled
chicken liver, minced meat, butter, rolls, lemon, onion, herbs, spices 
Fry hamburger meat, chicken liver, onions and parsley 
Soak stale rolls in warm milk 
Squeeze out the liquid and add the bread to the pan 
Combine and stir, add an egg and some butter, turn down the heat 
Stuff chicken/turkey, or just bake and serve on the side 
Chicken should be done after 1.5 hours, internal temp. about 170F 
Carve chicken with poultry shears through the middle 
Chicken stuffing can be baked and served on the side

Cuisine: German-Franconia
Prep Time: 20 minutes

This is my mothers recipe given down through Generations. The liver is optional, but for me it has a special decadent taste.
Ingredients
- 5 stale rolls or one baguette
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 medium onion
- Parsley
- 1/2 lb chicken liver (optional)
- 1/2 lb hamburger meat
- dash of salt and pepper, nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter
- Zest of one lemon and 2 tsp. juice
- 1 egg
- 2 raw chicken
Instructions
- Fry the hamburger meat, remove from pan and drain fat.
- Chop the onion and parsley and fry in butter until onions are golden.
- Add the chicken liver and fry until no longer red.
- Add back the cooked hamburger meat to the pan.
- Place the stale bread in a bowl and pour warm milk on top to soak.
- Squeeze the milk out of the bread and add in the pan with the rest.
- Drop an egg into the same pan with the stuffing, add some more butter (2+ tbsp), stir under.
- Cook two more minutes in medium.
- Remove from the stove top.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Add zest of one lemon and some juice to the mixture and stir
- Wash the chicken (or turkey) inside and out, pat dry with paper towel and season with salt, pepper and paprika
- Once the stuffing is cooled, fill the chicken and bake in oven 350F for 1.5 hours depending on weight.
Notes
When filling, you could sew up the opening with a piece of kitchen yarn, but this is not absolutely necessary. After roasting, the finished poultry must be carefully separated or sliced, so that the filling is not damaged. To serve, lift out the filling and cut into finger-thick slices on a board. The stuffing can also be cooked and served on the side
