K&W Cafeteria Turkey Dressing & Gravy Recipe (copycat)
This recipe is pretty darn close to what we've enjoyed all our lives at K&W Cafeterias!
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 1 8.5 ounce Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk or half and half
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup finely diced green bell pepper
- ½ cup finely diced sweet onion
- ½ cup finely diced celery
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 3 tablespoons butter
Gravy:
- 1 can Low Sodium Campbell's Cream of Chicken (or Celery) Soup
- 1 can water or chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine all dressing ingredients except butter. Pour into prepared 7”x 9” baking pan. Dot with butter and bake about 18-20 minutes. until just dried and "set" on top. (If you cook too long, the dressing will be a drier consistency.) Turn oven off and let sit inside for 5 minutes. Remove and let stand 5-10 minutes before dishing out.
GRAVY
- Heat the soup and water/broth. Spoon over turkey and dressing.
Notes
- For the gravy, I have tried store brands of soups but don't like any of those for this recipe. I only use Campbell's. The others just don't taste or look the same. I don't like using a lot of processed foods, but make an exception for this copycat.
- For the turkey... You will need about 4 ounces of this per serving. I'm not a fan of turkey, so I use chicken instead. I sometimes will use deboned rotisserie chicken or I get some thinly sliced chicken (usually buffalo) at the grocery deli. Just use whatever suits your fancy.
- This makes a great side dish for pork chops and can also be used as a stuffing for them.
- If you have seniors in your life that can't cook anymore, they may love this. It's easy to make and package into single services for them to heat and eat from the freezer!
