Ingredients

2 medium onions, minced
2 -3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (I use Bell's)
2 cups turkey broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
hot water
2 (6 ounce) packages stove top-style seasoned stuffing mix

Steps:

Saute onions and celery in butter.
Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
Set aside to cool slightly.
Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
Heat broth and set aside.
Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
(Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)
Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
Stuff your chicken or turkey. For a side dish place stuffing in a baking dish; cover and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is my grandmother's old-fashioned bread stuffing recipe. It may be cooked as directed, or inside the turkey. It's enough to stuff a very large bird.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat and drain.
Mix the eggs and chicken broth into the bread crumbs. The mixture should be moist, but not mushy. Use water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in the onion, celery, rubbed sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

"This nicely seasoned stuffing is our favorite for holiday turkeys," reports Denise Goedeken of Platte Center, Nebraska. "It doesn't require a lot of prep time, which I like, and it tastes good whether stuffed in the bird or baked separately."
