Grandma Lulu's Turkey Stuffing

Great basic recipe that can be customized to suit your own taste with optional ingredients such as walnuts, pecans, waterchestnuts, browned sausage meat, mushrooms, apple chunks, diced oranges and anything your imagination can come up with. I like alot of crunch in my stuffing! Halve recipe for chicken.

2. Sprinkle seasonings on dried bread cubes and toss.
3. Turn off stove and add bread cubes to butter and vegetables and toss.
4. Add chicken broth carefully and stir until all is absorbed. Should be very soft. If not, add more broth.
5. Add optional ingredients. I love nuts, apples and sausage in mine.
