- Cube and dry 2 large loaves of good quality white bread, don’t use the heel.
- Simmer liver and heart in enough water to cover for about a half hour, slowly. I roast the gizzard with the turkey.
- Remove liver from pan and chop finely and save.
- Remove heart from the pan and give it to the dog.
- Save liquid.
Place in a bowl:
- Bread
- 2 eggs
- ½ c melted margarine
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 4 stalks of celery finely chopped
- liquid from giblet pan
- chopped liver
- 2 tsp. ground sage
- ½ tsp. pepper
- Mix together and add water as needed to make a nice consistency, not too wet or sticky or too dry.
- Taste to see if you need to add more sage. Add a little sage at a time until you can just get a taste of it, too much is yucky and too little is blah.
- You can place some into the cleaned turkey cavity just before putting it into the oven. Do not store stuffed turkey.
- Place remainder into greased casserole dishes, sprinkle 2 T turkey drippings on top and bake at 375 for about 45 minutes, uncovered.
- Serves 6
This is a recipe that will always remind me of Thanksgiving dinners! I hated it when growing up, but now could eat it twice a week. It will forever remind me of mom.
