Ingredients

12 cups dry bread cubes
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
3 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 cup melted real butter (not margarine)
1/2 - 1 cup hot chicken broth or 1/2-1 cup turkey broth, to moisten

Directions

1

Combine bread, onion, celery and all seasonings. Add melted butter. Toss gently to mix. Then add hot broth to moisten to desired consistency (but be careful NOT to make it soggy; a little dry is best since it will retain juices from cooking inside the turkey).
2

Stuff into the cavity of the turkey before roasting, if desired.
3

OR: Pour all into a large casserole and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, not letting the top get too crispy.

NOTE: Allow 1 cup stuffing for each pound of poultry.
