Delicious Christmas Dressing | photo of dressing with raisins, carrots and apples

Mrs. Cottages Amazing Dressing Recipe

Posted on October 24, 2017October 27, 2020 by Rosevine Cottage Girls

There is something wonderful about dressing. It is filling, satisfying, cozy, and delicious. We make this recipe with sweet apples, raisins, and sometimes dried cranberries.  It has ribbons of carrot shreds in it and just a dash of sweet wine or white grape juice. This has been part of our Cottage Thanksgiving and Christmas for many many years now and never fails to satisfy. So many think dressing is difficult to make so let’s learn how to make turkey dressing from scratch! 

This dressing is very customizable. You can actually make this with turkey broth, chicken broth, a good bone broth, or even beef stock and it will allow you to make subtle changes in the flavor. You can change up the vegetables in it. You can change the fruit or omit it. We love to make this with our own home-baked bread but feel free to use what you have. If you have a store-bought loaf of bread in the pantry, then use it.  If you have whole wheat, use it. Gluten-Free Bread, use that. You can even use it to stuff your turkey or chicken if you so desire.

The dressing is cooked outside of the turkey or chicken in a pan and stuffing is cooked inside.

Do You Cover Dressing While It Bakes?

If you cover the dressing while baking it makes a more moist dressing so we cover ours.

What Do You Put In Dressing?

You can put all kinds of things in dressing! You can put meat like sausage, giblets, bits of chicken or turkey, etc in it. It has vegetables in it and we even add fruit.

Where Does Stuffing Come From?

The act of stuffing foods into meat goes back to the Roman Empire where they were using nuts, fruits, seeds, and grains to stuff chickens, pigs, and rabbits. It was not called stuffing at this time.
