Almost the same, milk crackers, giblets, onions, parsley, lots of bells poultry seasoning, eggs and milk. My mothers recipe. Delicious. Has anyone baked in a water bath to keep moist?

1 box unsalted crushed crackers
1 chopped onion
2 celery sticks chopped
2 sticks melted butter
turkey giblets
8 beaten eggs
1/2 quart milk
salt, pepper to taste

Cook celery onions in butter til tender. Cook neck and giblets in 2 cups salt water (liver cooked separately) for 1 hour. Cool giblets and grind together (not neck) and add to butter mixture along with water stock left from boiling.
Add milk, then eggs to cracker mixture. Then butter ingredients to crackers, mix. If still dry, add milk to soften. Mix well.
Put in turkey; then 1hour 1/2 before turkey done; add rest of mixture. cook then last 1/2 hour take lid off and let brown.

My family always used milk crackers, onions, butter, egg and milk. Sometimes less is more and this recipe for sure less is more. A Canadian company still makes milk crackers. Market basket in New England sells them. We also added the giblets.

So happy to see your comments here because my mother and grandmother made this recipe. Since they both have passed and their recipes lost, I've been trying to recreate many dishes from my childhood. Thank you so much!!!
