How To Make my great grand mother's turkey dressing
-
Step 1The day before you make the dressing remove the bread from the bags and place on a large tray to dry out. If you are using frozen pork sausage, remove from freezer the day before and thaw in the fridge.
-
Step 2Add a TBSP. of Olive oil to a large skillet, form sausage into 4 or 5 patties and sprikle with a little salt and pepper. Over medium heat brown the patties on both sides and then turn heat down to low. Cover and cook for 20 -25 minutes and remove the patties to a plate to cool. Save the pan juices.
-
Step 3Peel and slice the onions and add to pan drippings, stir to coat the onions and cover and cook stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes. *Note if you are not using a food grinder, then crumble the sausage meat befor cooking and dice the onions.
-
Step 4Cut the bread slices in half to fit in the food ginder or cut into cubes.
-
Step 5If using a grinder start by grinding some of the onions, then some of the sausage and then the bread and continue alternating. If not mix the sausage, onions and bread together.
-
Step 6When finshed the grinding add the salt, pepper, sage thym, savory and garlic and place in large container and refrigerate over night.
-
Step 7Day of cooking remove from the fridge, stir well and taste for additional seasoning. This recipe makes enough dressing to stuff a 25 Ib. bird. I prefer to cook in a covered casserole dish 375o for about 40 minutes
