For the Best Stuffing, Dry Your Bread Instead of Staling It

I like cashews in dressing.

Gesundheit, and never sneeze over food prep. Seriously though, that Post #46 recipe sounds delicious.

For the past few years I've been making a huge pot of soup using the turkey bones, unused giblet stuff and leftover meat approaching it's unsafe date. Simmered most of a day before the bones and inedible parts are strained out and meat replaced. Adding corn, rice, peas and carrots with sage, paprika and poultry seasoning finishes it off. Chicken broth mixed in to lighten density if needed.

Suck on that, "Progresso" John Lithgow.

My mother used to cook up the giblets and Turkey neck with onions, celery, thyme, bay leaf and sage and then use this broth to moisten the stuffing and make the gravy. You can cut up the cooked giblets and add them to the stuffing if you like. I have modernized this by using my pressure cooker to make the broth. My grandmother added baking powder to the stuffing before putting into the bird to make the stuffing fluffier.

I have never heard of this.
