This is the best dressing I have ever had. My Mother has made it for years and it came from her Mother. I now prepare the same dressing for my Mother and family for Thanksgiving every year. Tips for making this dressing is to bake the cornbread, toast, crackers and rice the day before. Crumble all these ingredients in large bowl, cover and refrigerate over night. You can also dice up the carrots, onions and celery to store over night too.

TRADITIONAL SAGE DRESSING

I or we do not recommend ever stuffing a turkey, but if you must this recipe can be used. But please consider our suggestion below for getting the flavor and moistness that some people prefer rather than risking sickness or at the very least an overcooked turkey.
