Directions:
- Purchase an 8 ounce sliced loaf of day old bread, such as homemade, sour dough or Italian bread.
- Cut into 1/2 cubes and place on cookie sheets to dry for at least 1 day or dry in a 250 F oven for about 30 minutes.
- I prefer to buy bread rather than purchasing bread cubes or bread crumbs.
- In a large frying pan, add butter or margarine, onions, green and red peppers, celery and saute' for about 10 minutes; DO NOT BROWN.
- Add chicken soup base and stir well.
- Saute' for 5 minutes longer on medium-high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add beaten eggs and milk and mix well.
- Add dried bread cubes and mix well to coat.
- Add mushrooms and mix again.
- In a small bowl, mix together poultry seasoning, ginger, salt, parsley, dill weed, granulated garlic powder, black pepper and mix well to combine.
- Sprinkle mixture over dressing and mix well.
- Add crushed soda crackers and mix well.
- Dressing should be only slightly moist when squeezed and should just hold together.
- If dressing is still too moist, add more crushed cracker crumbs until the desired texture is achieved.
- Adjust spices to taste.
- You may wish to add some dried sage if desired.
- Line the cavity with cheese cloth leaving enough cloth so that it protrudes outside the cavity. Stuff dressing loosely, DO NOT PRESS TIGHTLY, as it will not cook properly.
- You can also wrap the dressing in double aluminum foil and bake in the oven along with your turkey or separately at 400 F for about 1 1/2 hours.
- When the turkey is cooked, pull out the cheese cloth with the dressing. Leaves the cavity clean and you do not need to dig the dressing out.
- NOTE: I prefer to cook the dressing in double aluminum foil in the oven.
