Turkey Dressing Recipe:
- 1 loaf bread, crumbled.
- 1 onion, diced.
- 1 small pkg savory
- 1/2 cup butter, melted.
- salt and pepper to taste.
Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Add onion to crumbs, then add other ingredients.
Add more or less butter depending on desired consistency.
Place dressing in the Turkey/Chicken before putting it in the oven.
You can also place dressing in a small, greased casserole dish and bake in 350F oven for 30 minutes. Serve with turkey or chicken if you wish.
Momma always sweated the onions in Good Luck (a couple of tbsp to a quarter cup depending on how much crumbs there were) before adding to the bread crumbs – the Good Luck would replace any other oil used. I’ve used more fat but it doesn’t turn out as well. Note: the onions don’t cook through but the sweating gets rid of some of the strong smell and flavour.
