I don’t see a grocery that carries Bryan here. You think Jimmy Dean hot sage is roughly comparable?
I’m sad that I will never have my grandmothers dressing with gravy again
Surely somebody in your family learned how to make it from her. Get the recipe, make it, remember her, honor her and give thanks that she was your grandmother, who knew how to make such lovely dressing with gravy.
Probably not all northerners, but my family (Canadians and New Englanders with a few Wisconsinites thrown in) have always done stuffing on the stovetop. In fact, I don’t think I’ve once in my life had stuffing any other way.
I honestly always though stovetop stuffing came about in the seventies as a packaged convenience food. I didn’t know real stuffing was made any other way than stuffing it into a turkey.
I think JD would work just fine!!!
NC produces *great* pork products so I think you all have lots of
good brands seasoned with sage, paprika, garlic, fennel, etc., etc.
Any sausage made in the south should be seasoned accordingly.
Poor gal in the pic must have been cold on that November day
Her outfit’s missing a scarlet letter, that’s all.
Cool. Now to see if I can pull it off at this late date, lol.
She is still with us though she has moderate dementia- can recall things from years ago. I’m going to visit her tonight. Hopefully it is written somewhere.
And thanks for the kind words. :)
I'm happy with turkey, stuffing/dressing, gravy between two pieces of white bread, myself. Maybe some Swiss cheese.
Many old school good cooks do a pinch of this and a pinch of that, hope she’s actually got measurements to guide you until you get confident enough to do it the same way.
My family has always done the same. Mainly because the turkey doesn’t hold enough for everyone.
It’s what Thanksgiving is all about. Family. Food. Giving thanks. Make a tradition.
Yeah, I hear ya’. If not, save it for Christmas!!!!
This is a rich, rich, rich dressing that wakes up the turkey, ham, and side dishes.
“Her outfit’s missing a scarlet letter, that’s all.”
I volunteer to perform the odious task of affixing the scarlet letter to the ladies apparel.
I refuse to allow anyone else risk being contaminated by close proximity to such a vixen.....I mean harlot!
Here in Michigan, I love my “Dressing”.
There’s a fair amount of southern influence in Michigan, certainly in the UP. I’m not surprised.
Basically, northerner’s make dressing also, but they call it stuffing. Whether you cook it in the bird, or on the stovetop, or in the oven, we call it “stuffing” in the North. We still fight over who gets the stuffing that was actually in the bird tho :)
