- In large bowl, mix bread cubes, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Add broth and butter-onion mixture, stirring until desired moistness (stuffing will become a little more moist during roasting because it will absorb juices from turkey).
- Use to stuff 1 (14- to 18-lb) turkey. After stuffing turkey, place any remaining stuffing in 1- or 2-quart casserole that has been sprayed with cooking spray; cover and refrigerate. Bake stuffing in casserole with turkey for last 35 to 40 minutes of roasting time or until thoroughly heated.

THANKSGIVING STUFFING
"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."

TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING TURKEY STUFFING / DRESSING
Never enjoyed stuffing/dressing until the day before I got married in November 1978! My in-laws threw a big Thanksgiving Day feast (a day late) for our wedding rehearsal dinner for about 30 of us. MIL made this recipe, and it made a believer out-a me! And...29 years later, I'm still making it, and all seven of my children are stuffing/dressing lovers--in fact, I think they'd eat it for breakfast all year long if I'd make it that often! Cooking time does NOT count how long it is baked--that would depend on if you stuff the turkey or bake separately. But figure a minimum of 30 minutes if baked in a separate pan at 350.

Steps:
- Fry meats (we use a combination of burger and mild Italian sausage).
- While meat is frying, cube the bread and dump in a very large bowl; drizzle butter over bread cubes; toss cubes, then set aside.
- When meats are browned, add onions & celery; cook until tender; then pour over bread cubes, tossing again and again until well-mixed.
- Add water/milk ONLY if you like a wetter dressing--otherwise omit.
- Add seasonings according to your taste, toss again.
- Mixture can now be stuffed into the rinsed-out & salted turkey cavities (then placed immediately into oven to be roasted) -- when turkey is roasted, remove stuffing with a long-handled spoon, into a nice serving dish--it will have absorbed all that wonderful turkey pan juices---oh goodness how delicious!
- OR -- spoon into a greased casserole dish, cover and bake until JUST crispy along the edges -- about 45 minutes.
- Whatever doesn't fit into the turkey, spoon into a small casserole pan and bake along with the turkey---turns out every time.
- VARIATION #1: Sliced, fresh mushrooms when browning the meats.
- VARIATION #2: Sprinkle some cornmeal when tossing the bread with the meat---mmmm!
- VARIATION #3: Water chestnuts coarsely chopped or sliced--adds a nice crunchiness the kids love!
- SUGGESTION: Unless you have a very small family -- DOUBLE THE RECIPE -- you won't be sorry, this is EXCELLENT when reheated the next day, too.
- PICKY EATER OPTION: Saute onions & celery in a separate pan until transparent, then dump in the blender along with the melted butter---pour this over the bread cubes and meat. All the aroma & flavor, just no "yukkies" to pick out for those who "hate" onions or celery.
- LEFTOVERS (if you're lucky!): reheat in the microwave.

STELLA'S TRADITIONAL TURKEY STUFFING
Traditional stuffing for an 8-person family Thanksgiving feast. Mom got up early to prepare and it was well worth it. It seemed that the stuffing always went first, which caused her to make a double batch. One in the bird, one in a glass bowl. However eating the stuffing from the bird cavity was always preferred!

THE BEST TURKEY DRESSING (STUFFING)
This dressing is adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook. It's rich and is always a big hit. No other bread is needed on the Thanksgiving table. Cook your turkey about 12-15 minutes per lb. at 325 degrees, basting frequently.
