Directions

1. Melt butter in a skillet on medium, sautee the celery, onion and garlic until transparent.
2. Combine the sauteed veggies with the cubed bread and croutons in a large mixing bowl. Add the water chestnuts, Parsley, sage and poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
3. Moisten the mixture with the chicken broth, use as much as needed to get the bread moist, not wet or soggy. Add the beaten eggs as well. Mixing with the hands is the best way.
