Directions:

  1. My maternal grandfather, whom we called Papa, worked for 50 years as a supervisor in a NYC industrial laundry during the 1930s through the 1970s. The company handled hotel and restaurant linens. To make extra money, when the laundry was closed on Sundays, he would work the trucks picking up linens from restaurants all over Manhattan. In early 1950s, he picked up linens from a fancy restaurant and smelled something delicious. He was told it was turkey stuffing for the holidays. He charmed the busy chef into sitting down and writing out the recipe. My family ate this stuffing for almost 50 years. Papa Sam passed away in 1993 at the age of 87. We miss him but his recipes, and those of my grandmother, Nanny Mary Scolaro, live on.
  2. Makes enough for a 15-lb turkey
  3. Soak bread for 15 minutes to soften. Drain but keep moist. Crumble and wet Uneeda Biscuits, and drain but keep moist.
