I was never one for stuffing/dressing growing up. I hated it! (I think it was the sage in it.) Now, I can never have enough, especially this recipe! This is a doubled recipe, can cut in 1/2 if need to. This is a delish, moist dressing recipe & I love it! YUM!

How To Make grandma knippel's dressing

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Boil water; adding the salt & pepper. Place potatoes (don't forget to score - see below), neck, liver, gizzards (from turkey) boil until tender, about 1/2 hour. Reserve 2 C of cooking water.

Step 3

Place dry stove top stuffing in a large bowl; set aside. Meanwhile, chop up celery, onion & add to stove top bowl.
Step 4

When neck, liver, gizzards & potato are cooked, grate potato over stove top mixture bowl. Finely chop up liver & gizzards & place in stove top/celery bowl. Discard neck - used just to add flavor.
Step 5

Add 2 C cooking water & mix well. Pour into a greased baking dish. Pour chicken broth over evenly & slice butter & place on top evenly.
Step 6

Bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until a little crispy on top.
Step 7

NOTE: I always thought stuffing was a northern thing & dressing was a southern thing. But I have found out that it's dressing when you cook it out of the turkey & stuffing when you stuff it in the turkey. I like it better out of the turkey myself.
