Grandmama's Turkey Dressing

My Late Grandmother's (Grandmama, Evelyn Ball) Recipe

As I make it, of course, since my father and brother make it significantly different.

Ingredients

  1. Cornbread (at least 2 boxes???)
  2. Pepperidge farm flavored bread crumbs. Not sure the size or flavor... Thanksgiving flavor, I guess. Maybe it is Italian?
  3. Couple or so Onions
  4. Couple or so stalks of celery
  5. Dried Apples (part of a bag, season to taste)
  6. Dried Cranberries (same as apples)
  7. 3 eggs (maybe 4, I can't remember)
  8. 2 big boxes of chicken broth (prolly only use 1, though)
  9. At least 1lb of sausage (I like more of this... Like Jimmy Deans tube sausage)
  10. Bunch o'seasonings like sage, italian seasoning, seasonal salt, garlic powder, onion powder ( I add onions so don't use this)

Prepare Before Hand:

  1. Cook 2 or so packages of cornbread. I like to err on the side of more than less on this.
  2. Cook the sausage in a pan.

Cut up the following vegetables/fruits (if not already cut up)

  1. A bunch o'Onions
  2. A bunch o'Celery
  3. A bunch o'Apples (dried and not as much as 1 & 2) (Optional)
  4. A bunch o'dried cranberries (not as much as 1 & 2)(Optional)

Now to combine it all into a big 'ol bowl.

  1. Combine the eggs and and one full box of chicken broth together
  2. Add all spices. I don't add much sage. Really just a pinch. Add couple of teaspoons of Italian seasoning, a pinch of seasonal salt, a teaspoon of garlic power. Add these spices to the liquid. Stir. I honestly don't know how much I put in of these things. I just swag it.
