Preparing for Thanksgiving: My Daddy's Turkey & Dressing

I've always been a Daddy's girl, and I learned A LOT from my Daddy, especially cooking.   Here's my Daddy's best recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner: Turkey & (Southern Style Cornbread) Dressing.

1-2 days before Thanksgiving:

·        Cook turkey in oven bag according to directions; add in 1/2 onion & a celery stalk for flavor, if desired.  Let cool, slice/separate and store, reserving 2-4 cups mostly dark meat (chopped) and all broth for dressing.   The remainder can go on a platter and can be served either heated or cool with Thanksgiving meal.  

·        Bake a pan of cornbread. 

·        Lay out bread to dry for making croutons. (Can be cut, seasoned, and dried in oven)

·        Boil dozen eggs (10 for deviled eggs, 2 for dressing)

For Dressing: make day of, or make ahead with everything but the broth; pour on heated broth when ready to bake.

4-6 cups turkey and/or chicken broth, heated

2-4 cups chopped turkey

1 pan cornbread

2-3 cups croutons (pre-seasoned optional)

1 small chopped sweet onion

1 c chopped celery

2 chopped boiled eggs

Sage

Salt & Pepper

Minced or Powdered Garlic (½ Tbsp fresh if possible)

Parsley

Thyme

 

Crumble cornbread in large mixing bowl with hands; add croutons, onion, celery, seasonings, and turkey.   (Don’t over-season; seasonings can be added if needed, but cannot be removed if you use too much.)   Mix well with spoon.   Pour enough HOT broth to make a very moist sloppy mixture.  Sample for seasoned taste; add if necessary.   Pour into baking pan and bake at 350^o for about an hour until top is crispy brown.  Do not overcook.  Cover with foil for first 30 min for moister dressing.  Makes 6-10 servings.

This is the most favorite of Daddy’s recipes.  I had cousins asking for this recipe for several years.  There really wasn’t a recipe, just made by feel and experience.  Daddy sometimes added chopped oysters, which made an interesting dressing, to say the least.  

Most of the time he cooked the turkey very simply; using only butter and S&P to season it.  A couple of times he injected the bird with wine, which really gave a fascinating taste to it; made it very moist.  There were even several times when he cooked the bird outside either on the grill or in an old army field range, which he got from Uncle Neeley.  One year the entire Thanksgiving meal was cooked in the field range.  If I remember right, the weather was still warm that year, and Daddy didn’t want to heat up the house by cooking inside.

Merry Christmas from our house to yours...

As I look back on the last 12 months, and at all that has happened, I still see a lot to be thankful for. We have had a lot of things happen this year; one of the major things was the passing of my mother. It's going to be really different this Christmas without her. Nevertheless, my two little monkeys are keeping me busy...homeschooling and general craziness.

Somehow we did a lot of traveling this year--New Orleans, Atlanta, St. Louis, and our big trip, the Smokey Mountains. This was the first year we have taken a week long vacation, just for the fun of it. Usually, we plan vacation activities around conventions or visiting with family (both of which are great), but this year, it was all vacation fun. The kids loved it!

Our wish for you, is to have a super wonderful Christmas...stay safe and warm...enjoy your family...and don't forget the real reason we celebrate Christmas.

Happy New Year, too!

...been awhile!

I started this blog a few months ago with the intent to keep posting, and one thing after another has come up :( So, I will fill you in on what's been happening. In a nutshell, my mother has been in and out of the hospital and rehab since Thanksgiving, and most recently over 4th July weekend. We have been doing home repairs to the roof and one section of the living room, which we are converting into a classroom. We are now into the school year with homeschooling (our school name is the AuBuchon School for the Incredibly Intelligent).

We did manage to go to the beach this summer, and had a blast with Catholic Engaged Encounter. I've also been doing some genealogy work for some clients, and now I am waiting for the several potential clients to send their payments so I can get started on their project.

All in all we have had a good summer, but I feel like I am being pulled in all sorts of directions. I love everybody in my family, and everything that I do, but my body is telling me to keep things simple. I SOOOOOO desperately need a day of scrapbooking. ;P
