Old Fashioned Poultry Stuffing

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 12 cups small bread cubes (1 whole loaf, from bakery finely sliced will reduce cutting time if you bake your own cubes)
• 1 cup finely chopped leek (1 large leek)
• 1 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon sage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup turkey broth or 1 cup low sodium chicken broth, to moisten

Recipe

• 1 note: the turkey broth is approximate, you may use less or more. test the texture as you add broth for the exact amount. when you squeeze a handful of stuffing it should hold together without being to soggy.
• 2 saute leeks and celery with butter.
• 3 then mix in dried cranberries and poultry seasoning.
• 4 add this mixture to the bread cubes while turkey cooks and mix thru to soften cubes. mix in turkey broth to moisten to the consistency you like.
• 5 butter a baking dish well and bake in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes.
• 6 stir once through the baking process to ensure the bottom does not burn. keep covered with foil to prevent top from browning except for the last 10 minutes of baking.
• 7 the key to this stuffing is to finely chop everything and use small bread cubes. you may stuff this into a 12-15 lb turkey.
