Rather than stuffing the turkey, Rebecca Monnette made dressing balls with a few simple ingredients that safely cook separate from the bird. Her grandson carries on the tradition today.
Stu Haley's Grandma Monnette created a Thanksgiving side dish, dressing balls, to avoid using stuffing from inside the turkey.
Rebecca Monnette was just trying to make sure her family didn't get sick, Haley says, so as an alternative, she made perfect, sphere-shaped dressing balls that came together with a few simple ingredients. White bread, onions, carrots, celery, stock, eggs and sage, with a pinch of salt and pepper, are all you need.
Haley grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, but his grandma lived in the smaller town of Marion, Ohio. Anytime his family made the two-hour drive down, it meant that he was entering a place where he felt safe, he said — a refuge from what he described as a chaotic home life. Those Thanksgiving celebrations meant the world to Haley, and after his grandma died, the holiday gatherings slowly started to come undone without her there as the glue to keep the family together, he said.
