Categories     Bread     Onion     turkey     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Celery     Fall     Parsley     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Turkey giblets
3 to 4 cups turkey broth or chicken stock
1 large (1 1/2 pound) loaf white bread, stale or day-old, torn into 1-inch pieces
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
2 onions, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 to 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13x2-inch ovenproof serving dish or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Put the turkey giblets in a medium pot, add 1 1/2 cups broth, place over high heat, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding water if the liquid boils out. Strain and reserve the broth. Coarsely chop the giblets, removing any bones or extra fat. You should have about 1 cup giblets.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the turkey giblets and the bread. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, heat the butter until it sings (is foamy). Add the onions and celery and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour into the bread mixture. Stir in the poultry seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper, and enough reserved giblet broth to moisten the mixture, adding plain broth, if necessary, so that you are using about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups all together. Toss thoroughly and pour the dressing into the prepared dish. Bake 30 minutes, adding more stock as needed to keep the dressing moist.
  • The dressing can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, cover with foil, and reheat at 350°F. for 30 minutes.

Tips:

1. Use Fresh, Quality Ingredients: - Opt for high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. - Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or turkey broth, for moist dressing. - Choose a good quality bread that will hold its shape when mixed with the other ingredients. - Make sure the vegetables are fresh and chopped evenly for even cooking. 2. Proper Seasoning: - Don't be afraid to season the dressing generously. Use herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. - Consider adding a bit of sweetness with dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. - Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. 3. Mixing and Cooking: - Mix the dressing ingredients gently to avoid breaking the bread into crumbs. - Cook the dressing in a covered baking dish to prevent it from drying out. - Bake the dressing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety. 4. Toasting the Bread: - Toasting the bread before adding it to the dressing enhances its flavor and texture. - Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown. - Alternatively, you can toast the bread cubes in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. 5. Adding Moisture: - If the dressing seems dry, add a bit more broth or melted butter. - Consider adding some moist vegetables like celery or carrots to the mix. - Cover the dressing while baking to prevent it from drying out. 6. Serving Suggestions: - Serve the dressing hot or at room temperature alongside your favorite roasted poultry. - Garnish the dressing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color. - Consider serving the dressing in individual ramekins for a more elegant presentation.
