NANA'S THANKSGIVING DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook turkey giblets while preparing vegetables - Save broth - strip meat off turkey neck and save for dressing.
• In deep pan fry sausage and ground beef, use 12 cube butter with meat. Fry until no longer pink.
• Add a few of the diced vegetables, about a cup at a time. Stir and cook, add more butter and vegetables gradually. Also, add spices as you add vegetables. Don't use table salt as the pork has salt in it.
• As vegetables cook down (test carrots for doneness) pour broth and croutons alternately into mixture, keep stirring all the while. The croutons will make the mixture thick, be sure and don't get it soupy. (if you do, add more croutons) add meat from stripped turkey neck.
• May be served like this or put in baking dish and bake about 1 hour at 350*.

• Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and refrigerate slaw at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Mix again before serving.

NANA'S DRESSING RECIPE

Steps:

• Nana uses potato rolls but it wasn't recognized as an ingredient, so I just put white, but either one will work. We use an 11-13 pan of corn bread also the amount didn't show up on the ingredients for some reason.
• Mix it all up and put enough broth so that it's kind of sloppy. Nana said she kept adding until it shook in the pan like Jello.
• Then bake at 325 and stir it half way through for an hour or an hour and a half until it's browned on top.
