but I don't know anyone that posts on the cooking forum,
and no one really reads the conversation forum,

and I wanted to talk to you guys and specifically want your help!
You're my friends LOL

I grew the bell peppers, so if anyone wants to know how,
I can post that.

We're not going anywhere for Thanksgiving this year, so
I'm only making a turkey breast.

Does anyone have a easy recipe for dressing?
I don't want to use bread or make cornbread unless I have to.

I need a recipe like - buy this, chop that, add this...
....all stuff I can buy and put together from the store.

I have the bell pepper! LOL

Thanks guys, and happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

This is how I make my dressing when I just doing a breast.
I don't spend too much time on and it is fabulasssss.

believe it or not I just use stove top.
I make stove top as directed except I add less water, get a big pce of alluminum paper and make a mound with the stufing,on the paper then I season the breast and set it on the mound of stuffing,then I fold the allum. paper on to the breast
making sure I don't cover all the breast. Bake for 1 hr.
it's great I don't have to fuss over dressing
Thats my two cents hope you try it.
Happy Thanksgiving. Carmen

my specialty is dessert and my motto: Life is Uncertain-Eat Dessert First.

Good luck with your stuffing.

Denise,you are about as worthless as a hind teat on a boar hog! LOL
(you can redeem yourself by helping me make a chocolate desert) wink wink wink!

Peel and cut one potato per guest. Boil them and while they're cooking, saute a couple of onions. Toss the onions with a whole head of chopped garlic into a mixing bowl. Add some white bread that you've removed the crust from and cut into small pieces. Melt 2 sticks of butter and pour them over the mixture. Add the potatoes and mash the whole thing together. Stuff the turkey (whole or just the breast) with as much stuffing as you can and cook.

When the turkey is done, you'll have turkey and mashed potato stuffing.

Cora, thank you! I thought about doing rice stuffing, until
I opened my big mouth and asked. The answer I got was not very positive.
I just didn't want to have to dice bread, or make corn bread.
I was thinking of something like stove top, but since I've never
had it before, didn't know if it was already seasoned enough,
and if I add more seasoning, will it be over kill.

Thanks guys, again!

WHAT!!! nobody consults Martha Stewart?? Isn't that against the law??? gary

Buy pepperidge farm bagged stuffing. Follow the directions for amount of butter, use chicken broth instead of water. Add sauteed onion, celery, and anything else you like. (some people like fruit, like raisins, I don't). Bake in a covered dish, and you are done. It's really that easy.

Whichever one or combination of these suggestions you choose you will do just fine!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tear up stale white bread and crumbled up corn bread.
Chop up some onion and celery and saute in butter. Add to bread.
Add enough chicken broth to make it kinda soupy.
Add sage, salt and pepper to taste. I go heavy on the sage.
Add 1 beaten egg.

Spray muffin tins with Pam. Use ice cream scoop or fill to about 3/4 full. Bake 350 approx. 30 minute or until sides and top are crispy looking and center is moist.

finely chopped veggies + parsley (i.e. celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, whatever else you have on hand)
egg(s)
salt & pepper
any herbs desired (optional)

Simply chop veggies fine, a blender or food processor works great for this (back in the day Grandma would've used a wooden chopping bowl + hand chopper), then blend in 1 or 2(or more) eggs to make a rather thick 'batter', add seasoning & pour into a buttered casserole dish, dot w/ butter & bake @ 350F until set & lightly browned(30-40 minutes?).

This may seem weird to some, but it's really quite delicious.

Me, I've discovered Arrowhead Mills organic stuffing mixes(made w/ 2X the am't of veggies) - super easy & good = )

Up in PA, the local Weis supermarket used to bag their own dried plain bread cubes, but I can't find plain ones here, so I make my own. Only takes a minute.

Thanks for the great thread Corrie! Happy Thanksgiving!

The turkey is in the oven.
Pole beans are on simmer.
Yams are cooking down.
Made the cranberries last night.

Only thing left is the dressing!

Thank you all so much!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE

Shar, if you ever try the Stuffin Muffins, be sure and spray the muffin pans liberally with Pam. I forgot to mention that in the instructions.
