Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing for Turkey

When I make this I add chopped green pepper adds a nice flavor. I also use milk not broth to my stuffing. This was passed down for generations in our family. I also toast my own bread and break it up.

This recipe is similar to the one I have used.... many a year! It is my mother's recipe and probably her mother's, grandmother's and so on. I have started to use Turkey Breast with the giblets (neck, heart.... etc.) if I can find them. Most people in my family prefer the white meat only. However, I insist on having the bone in breast, because believe it or not, the bones add flavor. My ancestry recipe includes one important tip: take a pot (2 qts or more) add the heart, neck, and giblets with a large chunks of celery leaf and onion and create your own turkey broth!!

You would be surprised what a can of cream of chicken soup will do. My homemade this year will be trying out pretzel bread cubes (no extra salt) and Italian load of bread. Will be using egg, butter, cream of chicken soup and broth from the turkey for the liquids. Plus the chopped onions, celery and mushrooms.
