Traditional Southern
Smoked Turkey Dressing
2 cups Onions, chopped
2 cups Celery - 2 cups chopped
4 boxes Jiffy corn bread mix (small boxes)
1 small box Bisquick
drippings from turkey - as needed
Sauté two cups each
of chopped onion and celery in margarine. Let Cool.
Bake four boxes jiffy cornbread mix as directed in long cake pan.
Add water to small size Bisquick, as directed. Bake in oblong cake sized pan.
When cool, began breaking up cornbread and biscuit mixtures with your hands.
Press between hands into small pieces.
Add cooked celery and onions and drippings from smoked turkey. If you do not
have smoked turkey, you may add canned chicken bullion or drippings from boiled
turkey parts. Keep adding drippings until it is of a muffin consistency. If you
run out of drippings, you may add some water. I find that I don't need any
flavorings, because of the smoked flavor, but taste for yourself and add
accordingly.
Bake at 400 degrees F. in various sized pans until done. It should be moist
