Well my fathers' mother was french and he taught his wife (Polish) how to
make the dressing the french way but he never used mashed potatoes. This is
the recipe that was used.

Bread cubes or day old bread
Giblets cooked and cut up
carrots diced and cooked
potatoes diced and cooked
Onion
Celery
eggs
all of the seasonings that is normally used in Turkey dressing
broth or stock to moisten the ingredients.

Then we stuff the turkey cavity with this dressing and then I make the
traditional sage, onion and celery and giblets for me. I also make extra so
that the children can take some home with them.
