#196347 - 12/22/09 02:23 PM Moist turkey dressing...?
jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	You gals who like to cook, I've had a problem with dressing becoming too dry and sticking to the bowl it's cooked in. I bake a turkey breast and cook the stuffing separately. I thought perhaps the problem was too shallow of a baking dish. This year I'll bake the dressing in a deeper dish. But here's the question: How do I keep the sides from sticking and the top from crusting up? I can butter the sides of the dish a bit, I know. But what about the top? What do you gals do?

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I was thinking of making it more moist to begin with so I second gims idea to add more chicken stock. I also add bacon and sausage which keeps it from getting dry.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	OMG!!! I always cook my dressing separate. My dressing isn't considered good unless there is a nice crust on the top but of course the inner dressing should be moist. Always is too. I use chicken broth to moisten the toasted bread pieces I tear up, and use plenty so it until the mixture feels almost mushy in the mixing bowl. When cooked properly there will always be a crush on top UNLESS you cook it inside the turkey, then theres no crust! Or try tightly covering your pan with aluminum foil during the cooking, that should keep a crust from forming. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Almost forgot, I use a natural butter cooking spray on my baking pan/dish. Even if some sticks just run water in the empty pan/dish and let it sit, it comes out easy enough when soaked awhile. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Thank you ladies. Instead of tearing bread, I use a 14 oz. package of cubed, country style, Pepperidge Farm stuffing blended with herbs and spices. I fry celery and onions in butter; add a couple gently beaten eggs and water; and bake in a casserole dish 4 a half hour at 350 degrees. Other years I used an oblong, shallow baking dish. This year I stocked up on dishes and intend to use a deeper casserole dish and broth, like you all say! Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	One question though, why not use turkey broth as opposed to chicken broth? Just wonderin'! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Ever tried to find turkey broth??? It's hard to find believe me. You can use Pepperidge Farm pieces if you want to. I have on occassion myself but enjoy toasting the bread. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
