Game Hens Stuffed With Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 x Game hens, defrosted

- 1/2 c. Shelled pecans
- 2 x Large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 tsp Fresh grated ginger
- 1 pch Fresh grated nutmeg Salt to taste
Directions
- SERVES 6
- In Italy they stuff chickens with potatoes and olives, so I developed this dish just for fun. It turned out to be delicious, and it is a complete meal in one package. Perfect for a family dinner.
- Defrost the birds and pat dry with paper towels. Mix all remaining ingredients together to create a stuffing. Fill each bird and place on an oiled roasting rack. Bake at 375 for about 1 hour. Split the birds down the middle and serve a half to each guest.
- These are so delicious and so heavy which I caution you about the rest of the menu. A light salad and perhaps some plain green vegetables would complete the meal.
