• 1 1/2 cups finely diced celery

Recipe

• cook sausage. drain.
• melt margarine. add enough to sausage drippings to make 1 cup.
• saute; onions and celery in margarine/dripping mixture until onion is tender. do not brown. stir in about 1/3 bread cubes. put in big bowl and add remaining bread cubes, poultry seasoning, and pepper. watch your hands, it's hot. mix well.
• stuff turkey. you can also omit the sausage, increase the bread cubes to 9 cups, and add a teaspoon or two of salt. you can also add apples, giblets, oysters, etc. this recipe is very adaptable. when cooking extra in the oven, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish, and place in a pan of hot water. cover, and baste with turkey drippings occasionally. it comes out really good.
