Recipe

• 1 this recipe can be enlarged for more people easily, but i usually make for 10.
• 2 2 1/2 onions, chopped, mound in half of the bottom of a large bowl.
• 3 equal mound of celery, chopped.
• 4 1 sheaf cilantro, cleaned, chopped, with heavy stem parts removed. sprinkle over the vegies - to taste, but enough so you can barely see the vegies.
• 5 eggs: start with 2 and mix well into the vegies. you want all bits coated with egg, so you may have to add one or two more.
• 6 milk: usually 1 1/4 cup - the goal is to not cover the vegies, but to make the bits almost float.
• 7 pepper: sprinkle over the top so there is a light covering over all.
• 8 salt: that's up to you. i use about 1-2 tablespoons (i have to eat salt).
• 9 break or cut french bread into the mixture until the bread sops up the liquid. if your final stirring looks a bit dry, add enough chicken broth to do the job. i use swanson's.
• 10 transfer to a casserole dish - or two.
• 11 slice cubed butter very thin over the top, don't stir.
• 12 bake at 350 for an hour or until top is toasty.
• 13 stuffing.
• 14 measure the cavity of the bird, cut french bread to fit. usually 5" to 6". then slice in half - like for a sandwich.
• 15 onion: slice thin rings and lay over one of the halves, overlapping.
• 16 cilantro: a dozen leaves, chopped or not, over the onion.
• 17 pepper: a small sprinkling.
• 18 put halves together and put into the cavity carefully, small end first.
• 19 it will absorb juice from the turkey so you'll need to spoon it out of the bird. the onion sandwich also adds flavor to the turkey. subtle, but mmm.
