Old-Fashioned Giblet Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 sack giblets from one turkey
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups dry bread cubes
  • 1 cup chicken broth, or as needed

Method

  1. Cut the giblets into small pieces.
  2. In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Cook the giblets for 2 minutes. Mix in the celery and onion and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until tender. Take the skillet off the heat and blend in the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Transfer the dry bread cubes to a large bowl. Combine with the giblet mixture, then pour in sufficient chicken broth to lightly dampen the bread. The stuffing can now be baked as you prefer.
