We got this recipe from my wife's side of the family who were descendants of the Germans who settled in central Texas. It is a different kind of dressing from the norm, but we've made it for years along with the traditional corn bread dressing. It is good with a meal or by itself with gravy on it. In fact, you can make a sandwich from it or eat with crackers, etc.
3 lbs. ground beef
1 1/2 lbs. ground pork
Boil turkey parts with celery and onions then chop up
Save broth for dressing and gravy
1 stalk chopped celery
1 bunch of parsley chopped
10 apple size onions chopped
2 loaves of bread toasted in low oven, dry out, and cube
5 eggs
Salt & pepper to taste
Mix all above thoroughly and brown in large cast iron pot on low heat stirring quite often to keep from burning. Cook about 2 1/2 hrs. until brown. Can stuff turkey with or bake longer in oven in pans with turkey. When reheating in oven add some broth to keep from drying out. This is probably not necessary if microwaving. If used to stuff turkey be sure dressing is warm.
