Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dressing from Food 52


It's traditional to have Dressing for Thanksgiving but Vegetarians either miss out or you make a traditional version and omit the Turkey Drippings. This is a delicious option for a a Vegetarian Dressing.
I've adapted it without compromising the original recipe.
My wife usually makes ours with a Vegetarian Chicken Broth but then the others don't get to enjoy the traditional flavor of Turkey Dressing. I'll make this for the Vegetarians in our family and I'm sure others will like it too.

This is the photo from Food 52.
The following are my photos:

Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Scallions, Apple mixed with Olive Oil.
Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste.


Roasting Pan brushed with Olive Oil.
I Roasted it for about 25-30 minutes, sitting half way .

Onion and Celery sautéing in Olive Oil.

Bread added to the Onion and Celery. I recommend
a Large Skillet for this process.

Added Cranberries, Pecans and Broth and Herbs.
