Directions:
- Fry meats (we use a combination of burger and mild Italian sausage).
- While meat is frying, cube the bread and dump in a very large bowl; drizzle butter over bread cubes; toss cubes, then set aside.
- When meats are browned, add onions & celery; cook until tender; then pour over bread cubes, tossing again and again until well-mixed.
- Add water/milk ONLY if you like a wetter dressing-otherwise omit.
- Add seasonings according to your taste, toss again.
- Mixture can now be stuffed into the rinsed-out & salted turkey cavities (then placed immediately into oven to be roasted) - when turkey is roasted, remove stuffing with a long-handled spoon, into a nice serving dish-it will have absorbed all that wonderful turkey pan juices-oh goodness how delicious!
- OR - spoon into a greased casserole dish, cover and bake until JUST crispy along the edges - about 45 minutes.
- Whatever doesn't fit into the turkey, spoon into a small casserole pan and bake along with the turkey-turns out every time.
- VARIATION #1: Sliced, fresh mushrooms when browning the meats.
- VARIATION #2: Sprinkle some cornmeal when tossing the bread with the meat-mmmm!
- VARIATION #3: Water chestnuts coarsely chopped or sliced-adds a nice crunchiness the kids love!
- SUGGESTION: Unless you have a very small family - DOUBLE THE RECIPE - you won't be sorry, this is EXCELLENT when reheated the next day, too.
- PICKY EATER OPTION: Saute onions & celery in a separate pan until transparent, then dump in the blender along with the melted butter-pour this over the bread cubes and meat. All the aroma & flavor, just no yukkies to pick out for those who hate onions or celery.
- LEFTOVERS (if you're lucky!): reheat in the microwave.
