Print Recipe

Ingredients

2 tsps poultry seasoning or rubbed sage (to taste) .
1/4-1/2 lb bacon, sliced .
1 c low sodium chicken broth (you might use more than 1 c) .
2 tbsps fresh minced garlic (or to taste) .
14 c bread cubes (must be stale but still soft & cut into about 1/2-inch cubes) .
3 stalks celery, sliced .
3/4 c butter .
2 medium onions, sliced .
1 1/4 c dried cranberries (optional but really good to add) .
black pepper .
2 tsps seasoning salt

Directions

Step #1 In a large frypan fry the bacon until crisp; (do not drain the drippings) remove & crumble; set aside.
Step #2 Add 3/4 c butter (no less than 3/4 c!) to the bacon drippings & melt.
Step #3 Add in sliced celery, onions & garlic; saute until tender.
Step #4 Add HALF of the bread cubes to the butter; stir this to coat, & keep strirring with a wooden spoon until the bread cubes are lightly browned & the butter is absorbed.
Step #5 Transfer to a large bowl (or finish in the frypan, salt, if you have a large enough frypan to hold all ingredients) & add in remaing bread cubes, pepper & poultry seasoning or sage (if using).
Step #6 Add in crumbled bacon & the cranberries or other ingredients that you choose to use; mix to mix.
Step #7 Drizzle with the chicken broth (mixing with a wooden spoon) until you have reached the desired moistness, you might have to add in more than 1 c, but do not add in too much or your bread will become too "soggy".
Step #8 Immediately stuff the turkey, & cook.
Step #9 **NOTE** the flavor of the stuffing will vary depending on ingredients & type of bread used.
