Provided by My Food and Family

Categories     Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup margarine
5 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
½ to 1 teaspoon crushed dried sage
1 teaspoon salt (optional)

  • Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side (or you can use the toaster). Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point, stuffing can be made one day ahead, placed in a self-sealing container, and refrigerated.)
  • In a medium saucepan, heat broth to a simmer. Place dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add hot broth and stir until bread is evenly moistened, starting with 2½ cups broth and adding additional broth to reach desired consistency. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.

GRANNY'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Granny's Southern Cornbread Dressing image

This is how the last 5 generations of our family have made cornbread dressing. Surprised not to see this on Zar. So here is my family recipe. I was always the official taste tester. Before it went into the oven my mom would give me a bowl of it. I would tell her what seasonings needed adjusting. It became a ritual. LOL The cornbread is baked with the onion and celery in it. Really makes a difference to taste.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cornmeal (White Lily the best)
1 cup self rising flour (again White Lily is best)
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup celery, chopped

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk (more if needed)
2 eggs
4 slices bread, toasted and torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon dried sage (to taste)

  • Stir until well blended. Stir in celery and onion.
  • If the batter is too thick, add more milk. (should be pourable).

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup butter
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 large onion, minced
2 tablespoons dried summer savory
2 eggs, beaten
6 slices bread, cut into cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the celery and onion in the butter until the onion has turned translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold into the mashed potatoes along with the savory, and allow to cool until just warm.
  • Place the cooled mashed potatoes into a large bowl, and stir in the beaten egg. Gently fold in cubed bread, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Use as a stuffing for turkey, or bake in buttered loaf pans at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing.
  • Don't over-stuff the turkey. This will help the dressing cook evenly.
  • Use a large roasting pan. This will give the dressing plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350°F for the remaining cooking time. This will help to prevent the turkey from drying out.
  • Baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes. This will help to keep the turkey moist.
  • Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey.

Conclusion:

Granny's Old Fashioned Bread and Sage Dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this dressing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
