Method

Make something worth remembering.

Method

Make the cornbread and the biscuits the day before. Place the chopped onions in a large saucepan and more than cover with water. Add turkey or chicken necks or the broth, whichever you choose. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, turn down and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. Remove from heat and cool. Add beaten eggs. Crumble the biscuits and cornbread into the onion water at a ratio of about 1 part biscuit to 2 parts cornbread. Season with salt and pepper. You are trying to end up with a mixture that is kind of soupy but thick. Pour into a greased 9 X 13" pan.
Bake in a 325°F oven for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy, and turkey or chicken.

Family note

What makes this ours

I bet Tony's grandmother made this every week! Mine is acceptable for a Yankee girl, but Dud's and Elizabeth's dressing beats mine by a mile!!
