Do you have an easy and good recipe for dressing for Thanksgiving?

I am getting a turkey already cooked with no dressing. How can I make a good dressing without the drippings from the turkey? I would like low fat but would use any recipe that is extra good.


Thank you so much,Do you have an easy and good recipe for dressing for Thanksgiving?
You did say Extra Good?





STUFFING, MY WAY


1/4 lb unsalted butter


2 md onions; coarsely chopped


2 cloves garlic; coarsely chopped


1 lb andouille sausage; 1/4'; thick slices


3 shallots; thinly sliced


1 c celery; coarsely chopped


1 loaf cornbread; cut into cubes and left out overnight


1/2 c fresh flat leaf parsley; coarsely chopped


1 tb dried sage leaves


1/8 ts cayenne pepper


2 eggs; beaten


1 salt and freshly ground pepper





In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saut, the onions and garlic until soft. Add the sausage and shallots and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add the celery and cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes.


Remove the mixture from the heat and fold in the cornbread, parsley, sage, and cayenne pepper. Stir in the eggs and season with salt and pepper. If the stuffing appears too dry, moisten with a little stock or waterDo you have an easy and good recipe for dressing for Thanksgiving?
OLD FASHIONED STUFFING/DRESSING








INGREDIENTS


30 slices white bread, lightly toasted


2 tablespoons butter


1 large onion, finely chopped


2 stalks celery, finely chopped


2 eggs, lightly beaten


2 cups chicken broth


2 teaspoons rubbed sage


1 teaspoon garlic powder


salt and pepper to taste





DIRECTIONS





Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.


Crush the bread into crumbs with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a large bowl.


Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat and drain.


Mix the eggs and chicken broth into the bread crumbs. The mixture should be moist, but not mushy. Use water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in the onion, celery, rubbed sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper.


Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.
mash n gravy
I would just fry up 1 lb Italian sausage, drain off fat, then add 1 lg diced onion, and 2 stalks diced celery. Cook until tender. Melt 1 stick of butter, add it to one bag of seasoned stuffing, add meat and vegies, and then add low sodium chicken broth until moist. A little S%26amp;P for seasoning. Put into a greased casserole and bake for about 45 min at 350 degrees. I do this with the dressing that doesn't fit into the turkey, it turns out pretty much the same, not as moist,
