Newfoundland Dressing Recipes

TRADITIONAL NEWFOUNDLAND SAVOURY DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a skillet, saute the onions with the olive oil until lightly browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Melt butter and set aside to cool.
• Add two or three slices of bread to a food processor and pulse until bread is broken down into crumbs (about the size of rice).
• Place all of the grated bread into a large bowl. Add the sugar, savoury, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss well to combine.
• Add in the onions and pour in the melted butter. Use a spatula to toss until the butter and onions have been well incorporated into the bread mixture.

NEWFOUNDLAND DRESSING FOR TURKEY

Steps:

• Tear bread slices up and place them in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs, not chunks. Remove crumbs and place in medium bowl.
• Add onion, celery, apple, savoury and ginger, and mix well.
• Add melted butter and mix again. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• NOTE: This can also be placed in foil and heated through for 10 minutes, if not stuffing turkey or if there is extra dressing.
• NOTE: A popular Newfie post-turkey meal is "Chips, dressing, and gravy" in which the leftover dressing is placed on top of french fries and then covered in gravy. A sort of Newfie poutine.
