shortbreadlover — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 23:18:25 GMT

stuffing or dressing?

i like just the plain bread, celery and onions plus the seasonings.

but i am just used to that because that is what my grandmother and mother made.

I found this on YouTube. It is very near what I have done for a long time. There are a few differences but not any that would significantly change either the texture or the flavor of the dressing.

Turkey meat

2 jiffy corn bread mix

2 bags of croutons

2 Cans cream of chicken

4 stalks of celery chopped

1 large green bell pepper chopped

1 large onion chopped

3 large eggs

1 box chicken broth

1/2 stick melted butter

Seasonings: Maggi pollo*, pepper, onion powder , garlic powder , sage , salt

1 smashed garlic clove

1 of the celery stalks for broth

2 slices of bell pepper for the broth

A few slices of onion for broth.

This is on YouTube. Author/videographer is Gina Young, if you care to watch and see how she does it.

*Maggi Pollo is poultry seasoning.

In this house it’s dressing, and I make it the same way as both grandmothers, using a combination of cornbread, biscuits, saved heels of bread, and the leftover hamburger or hot dog buns. Lots of onions and celery sautéed in butter, adding salt, pepper, sage and hot chicken broth to the bread mixture and stirring. Nothing is measured, and what I make is mixed and stored in a 25 cup bowl.

I shape into patties and bake on a baking sheet.

Since my grandmothers always baked huge turkeys, the neck and giblets were simmered and the meat added to the dressing.

Ok I admit it, I’m lazy. I just buy a bag of Pepperidge Farms stuffing mix add celery and onions and butter. That’s it.

OP don't you use any butter/broth? Seems like it would be dry.

@shortbreadlover I like to add potatoes to mine. Maybe it's a PA Dutch thing:

BREAD AND POTATO FILLING

3 cooked, peeled and finely diced potatoes

1 family sized loaf of white sandwich bread –cut int 2 in. cubes, dried in low oven for 10 to 15 min.

2 extra-large or 3 large eggs (beaten)

3/4cup each celery (leaves too) and onion (minced)

½ c. butter

chopped parsley and sage

sprigs of thyme and rosemary

poultry seasoning, salt and pepper

2 cups milk

2 Tblsp butter for baking

Turkey broth for baking

Melt butter and sauté celery, onion and all herbs for 10 min., or until soft. Remove sprigs of herbs before mixing with other ingredients. Mix milk, bread cubes, diced potatoes, sautéed veggies and butter and eggs in large bowl. Season to taste and allow to rest for 30 min to one hour. Spoon ingredients into 2 or 3 qt. baker, dot top with butter and drizzle with turkey broth. Bake at 350 for 40 min. or until top is golden brown.

like @Mary Bailey, I do a bread dressing, however I like to mix up the bread -- Italian, french, sourdough, whatever I've thrown in the freezer beforehand. I use an old fashioned crockery slow cooker instead of our Ninja.

Here's the recipe I use from allrecipes (I delete the mushrooms).

OH MY, the instant I saw "filling" I knew you were in PA. My first Thanksgiving at my inlaws there included several tables FULL of food. Things I'd never seen before. When the food was passed around the table this dark brown/black thing came to me that I could only assume was some sort of meat loaf. It was shaped like a loaf pan. I took a small slice and it actually made a loud THUD as it hit my plate. I cannot describe the taste other than 'dry and dusty' tasting. I managed to cut it in pieces and hide most of it in other food on my plate. I asked the person next to me what it was and was told it was "filling"; whatever the he!! that is. I never touched it again. Now that I see your recipe I'm even more confused what her ingredients were. But it was dreadful!!!!!

I do Stove Top also. I add raisins and a Granny Smith apple to mine. Delish!

Re: what do you put in

Harpa — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 12:03:13 GMT

A touch of cloves. I got that from Ina.

But nothing else fancy: toasted bread, cornbread, too, celery, onion, touch of sage, broth (not plain water), melted butter. May or may not add poultry sausage.

I do the same but I do add a lot of seasonings and I keep adding chicken stock until it's the consistency I want.

Weird recipe.. I've never heard of 'grated cornbread' or 'grated biscuits' in my life.. Guess they mean biscuits/cornbread, crumbled... And measured in quarts instead of cups..??

In my house it's called stuffing. I make a very simple bread stuffing as that is what my mother made. It contains stale bread, Bell's seasoning, onion, celery, salt, pepper, melted butter and an egg. Then she would pour boiling water over it all and put a lid on to steam it and soften the bread. Next morning, she would stuff the turkey and roast.

I have tried many other varieties of stuffing and my hubby always prefers my mother's bread stuffing.

Used to make from scratch as well. But that stove top additions ( while being less healthy) works very well. I saute sweet italian sausage, leeks, celery, diced apple and some crasins when everything is warmed through. add it to prepaired stove top, put it in a greased baking dish and toss it in the oven for a while. add chick broth as you like.

@Bridgegal I can't imagine what food you encountered. PA Dutch filling is certainly hearty, but it is certainly not dark and dusty tasting. I think you had some sort of sausage or liver version of filling, and not a good version. My filling is more like the consistancy of a commercial stuffing. If you ever have good PA Dutch filling, it will spoil you for anything else.
