Ingredients
1 loaf of stale bread, cubed1 cut onion, chopped2 cups celery, chopped1/4 cup melted butter1/2 cup chicken stock1 tbsp or more of ground sage1/3 cup dried cranberries or whole, raw cranberries
Directions
This recipe will stuff a 20 pound turkey. If using a smaller bird you can cook the rest of the dressing in a casserole in the oven

Cube one loaf of bread, preferrably stale. Pour into large bowl. Add onion, celery and cranberries. Melt butter and pour into mixture along with some of the chicken stock. If the bread is already very moist you may not want to use it at all. I only use stock to cut the amount of butter but you don't want the bread to become soggy. Sprinkle salt and sage over mix and toss. Eat a couple of pieces of bread. If they taste strongly of sage, you have enough. The taste will be milder when it is cooked. Stuff the turkey or chicken. Don't forget that the turkey has two ends to fill. There is a cavity by the neck as well as the area under the breast. Roast at 350 until the bird is done using a meat thermometer.

    I imagine this is very good but One Serving seems extreme. Would have loved to have correct nutritionals to post to my tracker. - 11/16/10
