My DH makes the dressing at this house. He uses Petridge Farm Dressing mix, lots of onion and celery. His secret ingredient is bacon grease in the water that he mixes with the dressing (I know but its only a couple of times a year) and lots of back pepper. He also pulls the skin away from the breast of the turkey with the handle of a wooden spoon and stuffs the dressing between the breast and the skin. The bacon grease bastes the turkey breast. It is absolutely the moistest turkey I have ever eaten. He does it the way his German Grandpa did it. He is the only one in his family who still carries on the tradition besides his aunt who will be 100 years old on Christmas Day. This will be our 45th Thanksgiving and as long as he wants to do it, I'm game. I fix the rest of the meal.
