INSTRUCTIONS
I use stale french bread, pulled into small pieces. Put the sausage in a skillet and cook, breaking up the lumps with the side of a kitchen spoon. Cook until it has lost its raw color. If desired, drain off all or a part of the fat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and cook the onions and celery until the onions are wilted. Add the sausage. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and add it. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend well. Let cool. Yield: Sufficient stuffing for an 8 to 10 pound turkey.
