My Mom's classic stuffing recipe (with a little added sausage)...

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup salted butter
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
8 cups stale, fresh unseasoned breadcrumbs/ bread cubes
1 Tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup white wine
1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

1. In small pan, sauté onion and celery in butter over medium heat until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. In a separate, larger skillet, cook sausage and mushrooms until the sausage is no longer pink. Drain the fat. Add the onion and celery and stir together.

3. In large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and seasonings with sausage/vegetable mixture. Moisten with wine. Add egg and mix well.

4. Use this stuffing to stuff your turkey, or place in a greased casserole dish and bake (covered) at 375 degrees F. for 40 minutes- then remove cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Tips:

*You can certainly use chicken broth in place of the white wine.
*Mom likes to slow-cook (simmer) the giblets and liver, and she chops some of that up and adds it to the stuffing too.
