I'm really gonna have to find a way to get invited over for these meals! Do you take...donations?
wow! i'd kill for those greens!
Seems to me there was supposed to be a team party or something...
Where is G?
All of that food looks amazing! I am getting hungry just looking at it.
Amazing G and I didn't make it in any of the photos. He was there-head of the table. I have to admit, it was a great meal.
Mind sharing the dressing/stuffing recipe?
Thanks,

Bill you'ld be surprised at how simple it is. I use the cubed Mrs. Cubisons as the bread source. I don't follow her directions per se on the box and I really don't have exact measurements. Like Paula Dean's recipes, I start with a stick of butter melted in a skillet. I add about 1 large diced onion, about 2 cups diced celery, one large diced bell pepper, no less than 3 cloves garlic minced. this is seasoned with about 1 tsp salt and 5-10 twistas of my pepper grinder. This is sauteed until the onions are wilted. This mixture is added to one box of the bread cubes and tossed to combine. I put this in a 1/2 steam pan and pour chicken broth over it to moisten but not sog it out. I smoked the turkey neck and turkey butt for about 2 hours while I was smoking the
Buckboard Bacon the day before. I topped the dressing with the tese and baked til the edges were browned and a little crispy.
thanks....I like Stove Top brand. Your recipe sounds easy enough.
