Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt one stick (save the other half to use below) of the butter in a wide
frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring
occasionally, until golden (takes about 12-15 minutes).

2. Melt remaining half stick of butter in microwave, then add this butter
and all marjoram, pepper, sage, thyme and poultry seasoning to the
onion mixture in (1). Stir together, then remove from heat.

3. In a 5-quart container, combine bread cubes, celery and parsley and
toss with two large spoons. Add onion mixture with spices from (2),
then toss again with two large spoons, until bread cubes are slightly
moistened. Season to taste with salt, careful, not too much.

4. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to a day. Let stand at
room temperature for about 20 minutes before stuffing poultry.

5. If cooking stuffing separately, add one-half cup chicken broth to
moisten, then bake in a covered dish at 350 degrees for about 30
minutes. (this is what I do, since I make a double recipe, then I mix
this with the stuffing coming out of the turkey)

6. Remember not to salt the gravy!!
