  • hot turkey drippings

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place chopped celery and onion in pan, add water until vegetables are just covered. Boil until softened.

  • Slightly beat eggs in small bowl and stir in milk.
  • Combine stuffing mix and bread pieces in large bowl. Pour cooked celery/onion with water over bread/stuffing mix. Pour in heated chicken broth and egg mixture. Stir to combine. Add in hot turkey drippings a cup at a time until the whole mixture has the consistently of wet gloppy oatmeal.

Notes

If turkey drippings (fat) isn't available, you can substitute 2 additional cups of prepared chicken broth.
 
The original recipe started from Georgia Anderson, who would only use stale bread (no stuffing mix) and added sage until it tasted to suit her.
