Classic Turkey Stuffing

Directions

1. 1
   *To prepare the Giblets, remove from eh turkey and simmer in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water a 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tsp of poultry season. Let this simmer for at least 40 minutes. It is easiest to do this the night before and then warm up while you are preparing the ingredients listed above. Once these are ready pull out the heart, live and kidney and cut in half. Put half back into the simmer and chop the other half very fine almost to a paste.

    For the Extra, I usually put it in the oven halfway through the cooking of the turkey and add chicken broth while it cooks to soften the vegetables. Once they are tender the extra stuffing is done.
