Grandma Ruth'S Stuffing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
3 stalks celery, diced
2 onions, chopped
1 (20 ounce) loaf French or Italian bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 (16 ounce) package herb-seasoned stuffing mix
4 eggs, beaten
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the mushrooms, celery, and onions until softened.
Dampen the fresh bread cubes (not the stuffing mix), then squeeze out any excess water.
In a large bowl, combine the mushroom mixture, bread cubes, stuffing mix, eggs, and 1 can chicken broth. Season with sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well. The stuffing should have a rather paste-like consistency. Mix in additional chicken broth as necessary.
Loosely pack stuffing inside turkey cavity before roasting.
