This is almost like the dressing my grandmother used to make. I served this at a dinner party and the guests loved it. I even shared it with my co-workers and when they made it there family loved it too. This is good. Every time I took a bite all I kept saying was this is so good!

Very good. I made a smaller portion, made my own broth as I boiled the turkey gizzards and did not use the cream of chicken soup. Made sweetcornbread and added plenty of cayenne. Better than my ex's mothers! Thank you!
