OLD FASHIONED STUFFING
This is my grandmother's old-fashioned bread stuffing recipe. It may be cooked as directed, or inside the turkey. It's enough to stuff a very large bird.

THE BEST TURKEY DRESSING (STUFFING)
This dressing is adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook. It's rich and is always a big hit. No other bread is needed on the Thanksgiving table. Cook your turkey about 12-15 minutes per lb. at 325 degrees, basting frequently.

BEST TURKEY DRESSING/STUFFING EVER.
This recipe never fails to get rave reviews when I make it for family, friends, or pot-lucks at work. It's easy to make and you won't believe how good it tastes. I use Jimmy Dean brand bulk sausage (hot) but any good pork sausage will work. I use canned broth if I'm not cooking a turkey. If cooking a turkey I substitute turkey drippings ounce for ounce with the canned broth. Enjoy.

Steps:
- If cooking a turkey, make the dressing after the bird is done, so you can use the drippings. Use a turkey baster to capture as much of the drippings as you can. Separate the fat. Substitute the drippings for the canned broth (ounce for ounce). The total broth mixture should be the same--approximately 60 ounces. You may want to save some of the drippings for gravy. Also, if stuffing the bird, stuff it first, then use the drippings in the remaining dressing or to make gravy.
- Brown hamburger and sausage (I use Jimmy Dean Hot) separately, seasoning the hamburger with salt and pepper. Drain and set aside.
- Saute onions and celery using one stick of the butter (1/4 lb) until onions are translucent and celery is soft.
- Add all remaining butter to the 4 cans of broth (or broth and turkey drippings), the poultry seasoning, and bring to a light simmer, then remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, empty contents of all five boxes of stuffing mix, add celery/onion mixture, hamburger, and sausage. Gently toss.
- Gradually add in the chicken broth/butter mixture, stiring as you go until you get to the desired consistency. You may or may not use all the liquid. Do not add so much as to make the dressing wet and mushy. If you stuffed the bird, you should definitely have some liquid left--so be careful.
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, uncovered, at 350 F, and/or stuff your bird as usual. When I'm making this for a pot luck; I do it all the night before and put it all in a large crock pot. The dressing will warm quite nicely on High for about 2 hours (stirring once or twice) then reducing to Warm until the event begins. If I have any left over fluid, I take it along to add during the warming to keep the dressing moist. This is a large recipe designed to serve a crowd, but can be cut in half to make a smaller amount, but left-over dressing never goes to waist.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST THANKSGIVING STUFFING EVER
From epicurious.com
Author Rhoda BoonePublished Oct 11, 2017Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Go for a two-bread approach. We tried stuffings made with brioche, Pullman-style white bread, sourdough, whole wheat, Italian bread, and more. As we tasted we found that country-style white bread stood out as the strongest contender thanks to its chewy crumb, mild flavor, and rustic crust.
- Make your own croutons. We also tried stuffings made with seasoned dried bread cubes purchased from the grocery store and urge you not to do the same.
- Don’t skimp on the butter. It’s Thanksgiving dinner after all! We took a cue from this super-popular classic stuffing recipe, (which calls for a whopping one and a half sticks of unsalted butter!)
- Go minimalist on the vegetables. We sampled stuffings that included all kinds of mix-ins: apple, cranberries, fennel, carrot, spinach, nuts, garlic, raisins, and more.
- Add a flavor booster. Sausage stuffing can go in many directions. We sampled a sausage stuffing recipe that called for sweet and spicy Italian sausage, one with andouille, and another with chorizo.

- Note about the bread cubes! You have options here. Stale or toasty bread works best. The first option is that you can cut 1 ½ pounds of bread into cubes, place it in a large baking dish, loosely tent with foil and let it sit overnight. You can also cut the cubes and put them in oven, toasting them at 350 degrees F until they are like croutons, about 15 minutes or so. Finally, you can buy the toasted bread cubes in bags from the store. It’s your choice! You can also choose the size of your cubes. They can be small or larger for a more rustic stuffing.
- My mom has always used a mixture of stale and fresh bread. Also, I like to use different kinds of bread (usually two), like a sourdough and italian, and mix the cubes. It provides great texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9x13 baking dish (you can also use a larger baking dish or a larger foil roasting pan too!) with melted butter, olive oil or spray with nonstick spray. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl (this may be easier for you to stir!) or the baking dish that you will bake it in. You can also separate this into two baking dishes if it's easier.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the onion, celery and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper - at least ½ to 1 teaspoon each. Cook until the onions and celery soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the sage, parsley and rosemary. Cook for another minute. Stir in 1 cup of stock.
