Old-fashioned giblet dressing

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ingredients:
turkey giblets
water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup butter
8 cups dry bread crumbs (about 14 slices of bread)
1 teaspoon seasoned salt or celery salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper

PreparationIn saucepan, combine giblets (not the liver) and enough water to cover and salt. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, until tender. Add liver; cover and simmer for 25 minutes longer. Cool giblets and broth slightly. Remove and chop giblets; set aside and reserve 1 cup of the broth.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat; cook onion and celery until tender; combine with bread crumbs,  chopped giblets, seasoned salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Add reserved broth, tossing lightly to moisten. Spoon into a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Cover tightly and bake at 350° for 40 to 45 minutes. May also be cooked the bird - stuffs a 10 to 12 pound turkey.  I stuffed my bird, it seems the stuffing tastes so much better, I really clean the cavity good, and put lots of salt in the cavity too, then rinse again then stuff.
