For my stuffing I like my bread toasted and dipped in milk and added to one stick of real butter with one cup of chopped fine onions and 1 and 1/2 cups chopped celery and a whole package of chicken gizzards cooked ahead of time until tender with the liver from the turkey when tender put it in the chopper and chop it all up fine and add to the other mixture in the pot with the broth the giblets were cooked in seasoned with salt pepper poultry seasoning and Sage to your own taste by the time you add all the milk soaked toasted bread which will be an entire big loaf of sandwich bread you will have an entire pot of dressing that is cooked completely before you put it in the turkey and by stuffing the turkey with it you get extra flavor also this is a recipe of my mother and my grandmother from a long time ago and I have always followed it and everybody just Raves about it try it and let me know what you think thank you

great tasting stuffing especially with bacon. Husband like this. I had to take out the butter. Since that is dairy. You can't tell the difference.

Your recipe was delicious! The only mistake that I made was cutting it down to two servings, but I'm going to make it again soon. I liked the part of adding the beaten eggs to the broth, it made it so much easier to mix in with the stuffing at the end. I used the corn bread stuffing and the thyme. Thank you very much for posting it, and I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Yum, this is a fantastic stuffing. I used portobello mushrooms and they had a fantastic taste and texture. I'd definitely have it again.
