Mom’s Bread Stuffing
SUBMITTED by grndmaof9
2 loaves of white bread, cut into 1 inch pieces
water
insides of the turkey
2 tablespoons butter
1 bunches of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
½ teaspoon sage
salt and pepper to taste
chicken broth, if necessary
The night before: cut bread into pieces and place into a huge
bowl. Let the bread dry out overnight. The next day, after you
remove the insides of turkey, boil them in water in sauce pan
until cooked (about 20/30 minutes). Remove insides for later use
or discard. Keep water; set aside. Melt butter in large
saucepan. Sauté onion and celery until heated through; pour
mixture directly over the dried out bread. Sprinkle sage, salt
and pepper over mixture. Slowly pour your reserved water over
bread, the bread will shrink as you do this. Mix thoroughly. Be
careful not to pour too much water in. If you need more liquid,
use some chicken broth. Once stuffing is of a consistency that
it will stick together and does not look too dry, do not add
more liquid. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.(use another pan if
it doesn’t all fit in one) Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for
45 minutes to an hour. You want the stuffing to have a nice
brown crust on top.
NOTE: Oysters and mushrooms can always be added to this recipe.
