Turkey Day

Today, the smell of fall is in the air, I have apples cooking on the stove and turkey planned for supper.

My kids love the white meat turkey roasts fro Jennie-O. They are super easy and even come with gravy. I will make dressing to go with it and supper is done.

Cook the turkey according to package directions. I will make homemade cornbread dressing, but prepackaged works almost as well.

We like cornbread dressing so I save and freeze leftover cornbread whenever we have it. You will need 6-8 cups of crumbled cornbread for this recipe. Start by melting about 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet, add chopped onion ( I only use a little, about 1/4 but the actual recipe calls for 2 cups), about a cup chopped celery, a clove of garlic, a cup chopped apples, and cook till tender. Remove from heat and add 1 T parsley, 1 - 1/12 t sage, 1/2 t each salt and pepper. Mix into the cornbread, then add about a cup of chicken broth and 2 beaten eggs. Mix well, spread in a pan and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. YUMMY!
