I saute onions and celery in butter, make a batch of cornbread, and also use a 2-3 slices of old bread (any kind) Mix together and i use drippings
from turkey throughout cooking to moisten dressing. i also cook giblets in pot of water to make some broth to add to dressing. this broth and drippings i use for basis of very rich gravy as I use cream (you could use half and half). The pan of giblets makes good broth but it will cook down so keep adding water so you have enough broth for dressing and gravy and of course turkey drippings. Use the
usual seasonings, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, etc. This reminds me i completely forgot to buy some of L.C's seasoning for dressing.
i add giblets to my gravy but i see that some of you don't like them so toss them. Dressing should be very moist, but don't overdo it. the
cornbread gives dressing a lighter texture IMO. You can also use the canned/boxed chicken broth to add moisture to dressing.
