- Serves:

12-15
ingredients
- 1 loaf dry bread, torn or cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons ground sage
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chopped celery
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 1 dozen well beaten egg
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon chicken soup base, see note
directions
- NOTE: Chicken Soup Base is a concentrated paste purchased in the grocery store which is very rich in flavor.
- If you cannot find it in your store substitute with 3 chicken bouillion cubes and 2 Tablespoons of cooking oil which will give you a reasonable substitution.
- Combine all ingredients making sure that everything is blended.
- Avoid overmixing so that bread doesn't get too mushy.
- Stuff and Bake according to favorite method.
- I love using the popular baking bags since it is so easy and gives a wonderfully moist product at the end.
- NOTE** servings are approximate-- it easily serves 12-15 people with some left-overs.
- Time depends on method used-- I put down 3 1/2 hours since that is the average time if inside a 20 pound turkey in a baking bag.

Incredibly moist with a delicious sage flavor. Turkey and dressing are the highlight of our Canadian Thanksgiving meal. When preparing for these special occasions I always am sure to include at least one new item to serve along with the expected fare. Not having a loaf of dry bread on hand I cubed up a fresh one. With using fresh instead of dry cubes which would absorb more liquid I cut back on the water. Needing to make for lower cholesterol I went with six eggs and it still made for a moist and rich stuffing which was enjoyed by all. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
