I'm taking a few short cuts this year and one of them is making Stove Top. I saw an interesting recipe on their website using sausage.

How do you doctor up your Stove Top or any other packaged dressing?

I've used broth instead of water a couple times, but that's about it. We were brought up on stove top.

Add cooked celery and onions and an egg

Thanks, gray!! I use stock in place of water for everything. I didn't even consider it for Stove Top.

Not sure why no egg, apparently I have never used stove top only stuffing cubes and baked them

I make 'real stuffing' and sometimes mix Stove Top into it. I add celery and onion and always cook the giblets before and use the broth instead of water. Boiling the giblets with a large onion (not chopped), whole carrot and a few pieces of celery makes all the difference. I boil them in a 2qt pot and use the broth for both the stuffing and the gravy. Those giblets, which so many throw out, makes the best gravy and should be used.

If you're going to sub stock for water in this, make sure it's homemade with no added salt or at least low sodium if store bought. Stove Top is just insanely salty on it's own.

Thanks Ceci. The giblets and stuff will be used for the gravy. I'm making the turkey stock the day before. I freeze the trim from celery, carrots and onions and use that to make stock.

That's right, Jaxs! I'm making the stock on Wednesday. I will also have a quart of Progresso Unsalted Chicken stock on hand, just in case!
