I made Rachel Ray's stuffin' muffins once. It was very tasty, but includes chicken or turkey stock which would have to be replaced with vegetable stock. I didn't like them being muffins though...would preferred just a tray of stuffing...

Savory:

1 bunch celery

1 med yellow onion diced

1 TBL Sage

1 Loaf white bread diced, dried in open air for 3 days(crunchy dry)

2 cups boullion chicken broth or veg broth

Mix...stuff in a turkey or dot with butter & bake in a 13 X 9 dish for 30 minutes.

A flavor note may be missing but why not try using a recipe you like substituting vegetable broth if it uses chicken broth?

Eld, two questions. Do you want a bread only or a cornbread dressing? Vegetarian, what kind. It would have to go into a casserole, you could not stuff into the bird. IE, what will they think is okay. Are oysters okay? I know people who say vegetarian, but milk, cheese, eggs, or fish are okay. Not all of the ones, but a combo.

VEGAN means something completely different. It is NO animal or fish products at all.

Find out if it is vegan or what kind of vegetarian.

My family's dressing could be made either way, but it is mostly cornbread.

For vegetarian, check Ina G’s Herb and Apple Stuffing. Just use veggie stock instead of the chicken.

This calls for the stuffing to go in the turkey. Add more stock if you’re making it in a separate dish (maybe 2 1/2 cups). Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10-15 minutes to crisp up the top.

This NOT vegetarian. Uses butter for one thing.

I think you yourself are mixing what's vegan and what's vegetarian

No need to repeat the difference. Most vegetarians I know do eat dairy products, including butter. Dairy cheese is an important protein source for them.

Your comment above was right except about oysters. Oysters would only be okay if the person were a pescatarian. Not okay for a vegetarian or vegan.,

I have no food restriction preferences of this kind but when I come over, please leave the oysters out of the dressing.

Most vegetarians I know do eat dairy products, including butter.”

Right…and eld did indicate vegetarian. The vegerarians I know eat dairy products.

And if vegan they can use vegetable margarine in place of butter. Cornbread stuffing wouldn't work for vegans because it contains eggs. (Unless made with vegan egg substitute).

For vegetarian stuffing/dressing, I would just substitute veg broth and maybe some mushroom powder or Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Bouillon for a little more umami in my favorite dressing.

Any dressing made without meat, meat stock(broth) or animal fat (lard) is vegetarian as long as it stays out of the bird. No special recipe needed. But at Thanksgiving time, unless you are stuffing a squash or bell peppers it's dressing nor stuffing. ;-)

Some of us call it stuffing, even if it’s not stuffed!

^Right!
