Traditional Sage Dressing (Stuffing) is the only kind of stuffing our kids eat. They love their traditions. We love our stuffing cooked right in the bird. It's juicier that way.
Doesn't this Traditional Sage Stuffing look amazing?
Traditional Sage Dressing (Stuffing) for a turkey is a favorite side at our house.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I'm writing about traditional Thanksgiving foods. Today the topic is stuffing.
Our stuffing is made with bread cubes, sage, eggs, onion and celery, and baked right in the turkey. Our kids think any other kind is un-American and would turn up their noses if I served them cornbread stuffing or stuffing that included the giblets.
Stuff your Traditional Sage Dressing (Stuffing) in the neck and the cavity.
Doctor It Up
I must admit, I like this stuffing best, but I do like to try other kinds once in a while. My favorite stuffing mix is Pepperidge Farm, but most bread cube stuffing mixtures are okay. I always add much more sage, onion, and celery to it, however. I like it stuffed in the neck area because I like the dressing all toasty brown like it is in the picture above.
What You Need
You will need a knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, and a larger roasting pan. We bake our turkey and stuffing in our Nesco Roasting Pan. That way, we can make all the sides in the oven. Brilliant!
