Thanksgiving is coming up and we all have wonderful memories of all the yummy things Mama created for us.Mama's stuffing was always something to remember. Every year I try to create it "Just like Mama's" I've come close a few times. Wish me luck as I will give it a try again next week.
2 loafs of white bread -Mama toasted ever so carefully in a slow oven till the smell made you crazy.Lynn and I sat at table making a horrible mess breaking them into small pieces(sometimes we'd let the BRAT Janis help)Next Mama made her famous stove top cornbread.which we ate most of and crumbled the rest into small pieces( she must have made twice what she needed)Or you could use Mrs. Cubbison's box dressing. One box each of cornbread and seasoned toast.
One bunch of celery, with the strings removed and chopped fine.I think Mama started with 2 bunches, we had to eat half of it!
One large onion chopped fine. We started this but Mama usually finished, she couldn't stand the drama !
So you mix all this together in a huge bowl. Mama added some mystery spices.I know now it was salt,pepper poultry seasoning and sage. Add some butter,about 2 sticks (melted) and some turkey broth.Mom made this by putting that yucky neck and the mystery piece that were in a small bag, tucked inside the turkey,for gods sake!!!!! Mix all this together put it into the turkey
which was the most fun!Janis's favorite part by the way.
I hope you gathered enough information to make Mama's wonderful stuffing, if not welcome to the club!
Happy Thanksgiving
