TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING TURKEY STUFFING / DRESSING

Never enjoyed stuffing/dressing until the day before I got married in November 1978! My in-laws threw a big Thanksgiving Day feast (a day late) for our wedding rehearsal dinner for about 30 of us. MIL made this recipe, and it made a believer out-a me! And...29 years later, I'm still making it, and all seven of my children are stuffing/dressing lovers--in fact, I think they'd eat it for breakfast all year long if I'd make it that often! Cooking time does NOT count how long it is baked--that would depend on if you stuff the turkey or bake separately. But figure a minimum of 30 minutes if baked in a separate pan at 350.

Traditional Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing / Dressing image

Steps:

  • Fry meats (we use a combination of burger and mild Italian sausage).
  • While meat is frying, cube the bread and dump in a very large bowl; drizzle butter over bread cubes; toss cubes, then set aside.
  • When meats are browned, add onions & celery; cook until tender; then pour over bread cubes, tossing again and again until well-mixed.
  • Add water/milk ONLY if you like a wetter dressing--otherwise omit.
  • Add seasonings according to your taste, toss again.
  • Mixture can now be stuffed into the rinsed-out & salted turkey cavities (then placed immediately into oven to be roasted) -- when turkey is roasted, remove stuffing with a long-handled spoon, into a nice serving dish--it will have absorbed all that wonderful turkey pan juices---oh goodness how delicious!
  • OR -- spoon into a greased casserole dish, cover and bake until JUST crispy along the edges -- about 45 minutes.
  • Whatever doesn't fit into the turkey, spoon into a small casserole pan and bake along with the turkey---turns out every time.
  • VARIATION #1: Sliced, fresh mushrooms when browning the meats.
  • VARIATION #2: Sprinkle some cornmeal when tossing the bread with the meat---mmmm!
  • VARIATION #3: Water chestnuts coarsely chopped or sliced--adds a nice crunchiness the kids love!
  • SUGGESTION: Unless you have a very small family -- DOUBLE THE RECIPE -- you won't be sorry, this is EXCELLENT when reheated the next day, too.
  • PICKY EATER OPTION: Saute onions & celery in a separate pan until transparent, then dump in the blender along with the melted butter---pour this over the bread cubes and meat. All the aroma & flavor, just no "yukkies" to pick out for those who "hate" onions or celery.
  • LEFTOVERS (if you're lucky!): reheat in the microwave.

  • Mushroom and Sausage Sourdough Stuffing. This is not the bagged stuff (heh), that’s for sure. Shallots and mushrooms replace the usual onions and celery to make this the classiest stuffing recipe ever.
  • Julia Turshen’s Sheet Pan Stuffing with Sausage and Spinach. Hello, genius Thanksgiving hack. Cooking the dish on a baking sheet instead of in a casserole dish means the crispy-to-soft ratio is one to one.
  • Eggs Baked with Stuffing. Surely you made enough stuffing for leftovers? Repurpose it the next morning in these cute Thanksgiving egg cups.
  • Baked Cauliflower with Pomegranate Seeds and Thyme. Nope, it’s not your mother’s traditional stuffing. It’s better, because it’s gluten-free and made with one of our go-to veggies.
  • Stuffing Muffins. Cooked in a turkey? Not this year, friends. We’re baking our stuffing in individually portioned muffin tins, because why not?
  • Thanksgiving-in-Your-Mouth Paleo Stuffing. You’re trying out the Paleo diet? No problem. This recipe is gluten- and grain-free (and Whole30-approved, if that’s a concern).
  • Herby Mushroom Croissant Stuffing. Imagine your guests’ faces when you bring this stunner to the table. It’s made of croissants.
  • Creole Cornbread Stuffing. Cornbread is a popular base for Southern-style dressing. This one is packed with corn, poblanos, cayenne and all the smoky spices.
  • Wild Rice and Vegan Stuffing with Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple. Whether or not they’re vegan, everyone at the table will swoon for this roasty, rice-based stuffing.
  • Parmesan and Leek Sourdough Stuffing. We’ll take any chance we can to sneak Parmesan into a meal, even on Thanksgiving. With their subtle flavor, the leeks are a welcome swap for onions.
