Turkey Dressing for the Holiday Bird

Submitted by Gerry

"This dressing is served and enjoyed at the turkey suppers served by one of our local church catering groups - they have shared the recipe. Another favorite from the prairies found in "A Taste Of Heaven" Cookbook - a cookbook compiled with local recipes which helped fund a StairLift for those no longer able to climb the steps. People come from miles around for those turkey suppers and banquets prepared and served by - yes volunteers!"
