Gram's Turkey Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 Loaf White Bread, toasted on both sides
  • 1 Large Onion, very finely chopped
  • 1 to 1 and 1/2 Sticks Butter
  • Salt
  • 1/2 Bunch of Celery, very finely chopped
  • 2 Teaspoons Bell's Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 Can Chicken Broth
  • Pepper

Instructions

After toasting your bread, tear it into small pieces. Set aside. If Aunt Nancy was checking to see if you cut the onion and celery small enough, she would probably tell you to go back and cut each piece in 4th's. Gram really cut it small. It's hard to cut it fine enough! In a heavy, large frying pan brown the onion and celery in 1/2 stick of butter. Saute until soft. Add 1/2 to 1 more stick of butter and let melt. Mix in the bread. Remove from heat. Add the Bell's and a little salt and pepper. Heat the chicken broth and pour over the stuffing. Stir until all is moist. Add more broth if necessary. Taste for seasoning. You will probably need to add more Bell's. We always do! You want to taste that seasoning. Crack in 2 raw eggs and stir. Stuff the bird. Any extra dressing can be wrapped in foil and baked.
