No Bird Stuffing

Do you ever have a hankerin' for stuffing but don't want to buy the bird or make that boxed stuffing? Well, I've found a solution for you! I call it "No Bird Stuffing" and it tastes just like you stuffed it in the bird and baked it for hours!

INGREDIENTS:

1 loaf of white bread
1 small celery bunch, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 eggs
pinch salt
1/4 tsp. cracked pepper
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup turkey broth (if you can substitute with chicken broth too)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Melt the butter
3. Stir in onions, salt and pepper, and cook until the onions are translucent.
4. Add the celery and cook until tender
5. Tear the bread into pieces and add to the pan with the onions. Toss well.
6. Turn off the heat.
7. Crack the eggs into the mixture and toss well.
8. Form the mixture into loaf form and place in a bread loaf pan.
9. Pierce the loaf in the middle with a knife
10. Pour the broth over the dressing.
11. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes

Serves 6 to 8
