Rose'S Dressing
A savory stuffing with tender chicken or turkey, bread, and aromatic poultry seasoning, perfect for holiday dinners or family gatherings, offering hearty comfort and classic flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Toast bread, tear into small pieces, and put in a large bowl. Cut celery and onions into small pieces and add to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with canned milk until well mixed.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the bread and vegetables, and mix well.
- Tear the cooked chicken or turkey into small pieces and add to the mixture.
- Sprinkle poultry seasoning over the ingredients and mix with broth.
- Put the mixture into a greased medium pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of canned broth. If you don't have poultry seasoning, a mix of sage, thyme, and rosemary can work well. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken or turkey with sautéed mushrooms and vegetable broth. Toasting the bread until golden enhances the texture of the dressing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dressing alongside roasted chicken or turkey for a comforting meal. It pairs beautifully with Oven Fried Ritz Chicken or can be served with a crisp green salad for a lighter option. For a complete dinner, consider adding mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables as sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought bread for this dressing?
Yes, you can use store-bought bread, but day-old bread or a crusty loaf will provide the best texture. Ensure it’s dried out slightly so it absorbs the moisture from the broth and egg mixture without becoming mushy.
What other ingredients can I add to this dressing?
Feel free to customize the dressing by adding sautéed mushrooms, chopped apples, or dried cranberries for extra flavor and texture. Nuts like walnuts or pecans can also add a nice crunch.
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the mixture a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just be sure to bake it the next day. If it seems too dry after refrigeration, add a bit more broth before baking.
