Love Family Dressing
Jeff Love

Well here we are at Thanksgiving. I am sure that everyone is busy getting everything ready for the big feast. Here is a simple dressing recipe that is sure to please even the most finicky member of the family.



Ingredients:

  • 6 cups cubed bread dried. I dry it in the oven on a low heat. 30 to 60 minutes at about 220 degrees is a good start. Dry to desired texture.

  • 1 medium onion chopped

  • 1/2 cup chopped celery (I like to use the inside stalks and leaves)

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (Add more for a stronger flavor.)

  • 1/2 teaspoon sage (Add more for a stronger flavor.)

  • Salt and pepper

In a large skillet on medium heat add the margarine, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, pepper, onion, and celery. Cook until the onion and celery are tender.

Add the bread cubes to a large bowl. Pour the margarine, onion, and celery over the bread crumbs and mix well.

Add chicken or turkey broth a little at a time until the desired moistness is reached

Now once you have the dressing prepared to this point you can stuff the turkey with it and when the bird is done the stuffing will be too. However if you are planning to deep fry the turkey or if you are not having turkey for dinner you can also cook the stuffing in the oven at about 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday and enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner.
