Buttered Toast Turkey Dressing?
 

I once went to a Thanksgiving pot luck lunch event at a past job where one lady
brought a turkey dressing made entirely of toasted white bread, cut into cubes
in melted butter and lots of seasonings, and baked in a casserole dish. No
onions or celery, although it was likely seasoned with onion salt and or celery
salt, not to mention poultry seasoning. It was delicious, and when I asked her
for the recipe, she refused to give it out, saying it was a "secret family
recipe". Has anybody ever heard of such an unusual recipe?

I don't have that recipe but I think that it's sad when people have to play
games like that. But, if it is really just bread, butter, and seasonings,
then it would be fairly easy to duplicate. It might take a few try's. I
suspect that it also had some canned chicken stock. For seasonings, I would
try some poultry seasoning and maybe some commercial seasoning salt like
Lowry's. Maybe she is embarrassed to tell you that she made it from Wonder
Bread, canned soup, and Mrs. Dash.

(laughing) This actually sounds like it would make a decent stuffing. Not
to be served on the side, but to be stuffed into a bird. I'm thinking back
to Frontier House (a PBS Series) where they had next to nothing to work
with. This would probably have been a great stuffing on the Prairie.
