Looking for stuffing recipe made in a pan my Greek Mother makes with rice gr beef chestnuts cinnamon walnuts?

My Greek mother-in-law makes a stuffing (not stuffed in the turkey) at Thanksgiving and New Years. It has ground beef, rice, water chestnuts and walnuts I think, with a wonderful cinnamon flavor. Would really appreciate it if anyone could check with their greek relative or friends. I do not know what the greek name is for it though. Thanks for any help you can give. Happy holidays!!Looking for stuffing recipe made in a pan my Greek Mother makes with rice gr beef chestnuts cinnamon walnuts?

Original recipe yield: 12 servings





PREP TIME 30 Min


COOK TIME 4 Hrs 15 Min


READY IN 4 Hrs 45 Min








INGREDIENTS


1 cup chestnuts


2/3 cup butter


1/4 cup orange juice


1/4 cup tangerine juice


2/3 cup lemon juice


1 (10 pound) whole turkey


salt and ground black pepper to taste


1/2 pound ground beef


1/2 pound ground pork


1/4 cup chopped onion


1/2 cup uncooked instant rice


1/4 cup pine nuts


1/4 cup raisins (optional)


1/3 cup butter


1/2 cup chicken broth


2 tablespoons brandy


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


Make a small incision on sides of each chestnut, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted. Remove from heat, peel, and chop.


Melt 2/3 cup butter in a saucepan, and mix in the orange juice, tangerine juice, and lemon juice. Rub the turkey inside and out with the mixture, reserving some for basting. Season turkey with salt and pepper.


In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, ground pork, and onion until beef and pork are evenly brown and onion is tender. Drain grease. Mix in the rice. Stir in the chestnuts, pine nuts, raisins, 1/3 cup butter, broth, and brandy. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking until all liquid has been absorbed. Stuff all turkey cavities with the mixture, and tie in place with kitchen twine.


Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan, and loosely cover breast and thighs with aluminum foil. Pour about 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Maintain this level of water throughout cook time. Roast turkey in the preheated oven 3 to 4 hours, brushing occasionally with remaining butter and juice mixture. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) during final hour of roasting, and remove foil. Cook turkey to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).Looking for stuffing recipe made in a pan my Greek Mother makes with rice gr beef chestnuts cinnamon walnuts?
.5 glass white wine, or juice of a lemon


120 gr. pine nuts


270 gr. lean beef, minced


150 ml water


salt and black pepper


chicken liver and heart, rinsed and finely sliced


5 tablespoons chopped parsley


1 medium onion, finely sliced


1 piece cinnamon stick


45 gr. long-grain rice, rinsed


5 whole grains allspice





Put the pine nuts in a dry frying pan and roast them over a medium heat, shaking or stirring almost continuously for 3-4 minutes until they look nicely brown. Keep aside.





Sautee the minced meat, which should produce its own fat so there is no need to add more, and the giblets for a few minutes, breaking down any lumps. Add the onion and the spices and sautee for a further 3-4 minutes.





Pour over the wine or lemon juice and, when the steaming subsides, add the water. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the rice, pine nuts, parsley and mix well. Stuff the turkey and roast .
