My mother, for many years, made a turkey stuffing that was extremely
bizarre. The list of ingredients sounds revolting, it looked
revolting, but surprisingly didn't taste bad at all. In spite of that
we all hated it and eventually persuaded her to stop making it and
switch to a more conventional stuffing.

Anyway, my question is, does anyone have any idea, thoughts, or
guesses as to where she found this recipe? I know she didn't create
it, but it probably dates to the 50's, and in Chicago, if that's any
help.

So here's how my mother made her turkey stuffing. I don't remember the
exact quantities, I'm just guesstimating.

Take a couple pounds of beef liver, saute it with some onions, then
when cool, grind it up as for chopped liver. Place chopped liver in a
large bowl, add a few cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and blend well.
Then glently fold in 1/2 to 1 box of Rice Krispies cereal until well
mixed. Stuff turkey and roast.

OK, I warned everyone it was revolting, but honest, I am NOT a troll,
and I'm not trying to gross anyone out. This is the actual,
honest-to-god recipe my mother used for many years to stuff her turkey
with. Does anyone have any ideas where this might have come from?

Mmm... I don't think it's revolting. If she used it for many years, it
must have been at least ok.

Somehow it reminds me of an oyster, chestnut, and bread stuffing that
supposedly comes from the earliest Euro occupation of North America,
but which likely derives from a European recipe.

And I have no idea where it might have come from.

Hoping your post will prompt others to tell about more bizarre food.
