A truly Southern recipe. A good side dish to go with this is sweet potatoes. You can also grill over coals.

Southern Stuffed Quail

pork

parsley

carrots

celery

garlic

bread crumbs

black pepper

quail,

bacon drippings

In a bowl, mix the pork, parsley, carrots, celery, garlic, bread crumbs, and pepper.


Arrange the quail in a baking dish. Separate the skin from the breast of each quail, and stuff with equal amounts of the stuffing mixture. Brush with bacon drippings.


Broil the quail 7 minutes on each side in the preheated oven, or to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C).


This was fantastic!!  I grilled these, which took about 15 minutes longer than broiling since the temperature wasn't as high.  They were perfect!  I did add some thyme and sage to the stuffing, which complimented the other ingredients well.  Thanks for this excellent recipe!  I will use it for Cornish game hens also.

The stuffing definitely needed some work; the flavors were there, but sense quail is so tiny, there's not much substance to the bird so I was looking for more substance in the stuffing.  I took the recommendation of adding sage and thyme, but also substituted finely chopped walnuts in place of the carrots and used half the amount of parsley.  I substitued bread crumbs for a stuffing mixture and added an extra tablespoon.  Also, instead of brushing the quail with bacon drippings, I wrapped the stuffed quail in bacon before broiling.
