- 2 small onions diced
- 4 stalks celery diced
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1-1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (1-1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon ground sage)
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste

- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Notes
If using rosemary in the herbs, cook along with the onions/celery. To stuff turkey, stuffing must be cooled completely in the refrigerator at least 45 minutes.
To Make Ahead: Prepare as directed, cover tightly and refrigerate up to 48 hours. To bake, remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before baking. Prepare as directed (you may need to add a few minutes extra if it's still cold from the fridge).
