makes enough for a ten to twelve pound turkey. Halve recipe for chicken weighing half as much.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
• 6 cups dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup butter or hard margarine
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1 1/2 cups hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Melt first amount of butter in large dutch oven. Add onion and celery. Saute until soft.

Stir in next 5 ingredients.

Mix second amount of butter, bouillon powder and hot water in small bowl until butter melts. Pour over crumb mixture. Toss. When a handful is squeezed, mixture should hold shape.

VARIATION: In a hurry? Instead of frying onion and celery, use 1/4 cup onion flakes, 1 tbsp celery flakes and 1 tbsp parsley flakes.
