SCOTS DRESSING

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet.
• Soften onions in butter (do not brown).
• Add oatmeal and mix well.
• Season to taste.
• Use at this point to stuff turkey or chicken.
• If making in a casserole, add the stock.
• Not too much, you want it to still be fairly dry.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes.

SKIRLIE (SCOTTISH OATMEAL STUFFING)

• Melt the butter and gently fry the onion until soft.
• Stir in the oatmeal, season and cook gently for 10 minutes.

SKIRLIE (SCOTTISH OATMEAL AND ONIONS)

Steps:

• Melt the fat or heat the oil in a large frying pan.
• Add the onion and cook until soft and golden.
• Add the oatmeal and mix in well.
• Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the stock and allow it to be absorbed by the oatmeal.
• Season well and serve with light creamy mashed potatoes.
• (Skirlie may also be used as a stuffing for any kind of game bird or poultry. It is also a very good accompaniment to rich meaty and gamy stews).

OATMEAL POULTRY STUFFING

Steps:

• Dice onion to 1/4 inch pieces.
• Dice garlic to very small pieces.
• Dry mix oatmeal, salt, pepper, sage, onion, and garlic.
• Knead in the vegetable shortening, then knead in half of the butter. If consistency is not sticking together to form a clump when kneading, then continue to add butter in 1 tbs. increments. Increase amount of butter if necessary.
• Fluff mixture so it isn't hard-packed, and then stuff bird with mixture.
• On edit: I generally cook turkey slower and longer than most and add water to the pan for gravy use. I baste it several times throughout and shoot the water with a squeeze bulb type baster directly into the bird's cavity to keep the dressing moist.
