@ibstubro You just reminded me that my Grandmother, no longer living, and my Mom always made the turkey in the Roaster because the oven had either pies, or stuffing/dressing, rolls and sweet potatoes cooking in it. My aunt is the only one in our family that has a double oven, so she makes her turkey in the oven, but it wasn’t until just now, that I realized it and remembered that we have one of those nifty electric roasters.
Mom and Grandma always made dressing/stuffing outside of the bird, in a casserole, and we actually do like it kind of dry and a wee bit crunchy. They always used Mrs. Cubbison’s boxed brand, and added onions, celery and sage to it. Grandma used to make it with chicken broth, but my Mom always uses vegetable broth for me. I won’t eat stuffing at anyone else’s house, not even a restaurant, unless it’s specifically a vegetarian restaurant, otherwise I’d be consuming some sort of meat product.
My Mom also uses my Grandma’s recipe for baked sweet potatoes, only she leaves the marshmallows (which contain gelatin) off of them.
