SIMPLE SAGE DRESSING/STUFFING
Our family's traditional stuffing recipe for the Thanksgiving turkey. Although I have strayed from time to time over the years, this is the stuffing recipe I always return to. All ingredient amounts are estimated; Mom has never measured and neither have I. Mom wants me to remind you to be careful with the amount of sage you use. Start off using a small amount of sage then adjust as needed. Please note that for safety reasons I do not place the stuffing into the cavity of the turkey, rather, I bake it separately. Finally and most importanly, *please avoid using commercially produced stock in this stuffing*. This is the stock recipe I use every time: Recipe #55282 And the bread recipe I've used the past several Thanksgivings: Recipe #102949

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a skillet, melt approximately 2-3 tablespoons butter on medium heat and sautè the celery and onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In the meantime, cube the bread and set aside in a large, deep mixing bowl.
- Place the cooled celery and onion in the mixing bowl with the cubed bread. Next, add the *egg(s), sage, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and white pepper. Toss to combine. *Usually I don't need more than one egg.
- Now stir in about [1] cup of turkey stock. Mix. Add more stock, about 1/2 cup at a time until the bread mixture is {lightly} moistened but not saturated.
- Place the stuffing mixture in a buttered ovenproof casserole dish and cover with foil.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, removing the foil about 15 minutes before the cooking time is completed to allow the top to brown.
- Serve hot.
