CLASSIC TURKEY STUFFING (USE TO STUFF A TURKEY)
This is the no-fail recipe that I have used many times in the past to stuff a turkey --- you may use 2-1/2 teaspoons ground sage in place of 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning if desired. purchase your bread about 3 days before using to make slicing easier. To save some time you can toast the bread cubes days in advance or prepare the complete stuffing up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate. This will make enough stuffing for a 12-16 pound turkey or a very large roasting chicken, about 12-13 cups stuffing cooked. If you are not a garlic-lover then omit the garlic completey or reduce the amount to taste. Prep time includes baking the bread cubes, and yield is only estimated. I also like to add in a large red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped but that is optional.

Steps:
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices.
- Slice bread into 1/2-inch pieces (does not have to be exact, you should have about 12-14 cups cubes).
- Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally and rotating the sheet/s halfway through baking time until the cubes are lightly toasted; place in a large bowl.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until HOT and sizzling.
- Add in onions, garlic and celery (with the chopped leaves) stir immediately with wooden spoon; add in the poultry seasoning, seasoned salt and black pepper; saute for about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir the onion/celery mixture along with the chopped water chestnuts into the bread cubes; toss well to combine.
- Add in more seasoned salt (or white salt) and black pepper if desired to taste.
- Let the stuffing cool completely before stuffing the turkey or roasting chicken.
