Homemade Sage Bread Dressing

I grew up watching my mom make sage bread dressing; however, it was not until an adult learned the real secret is the fresh Turkey broth and sage that goes with it. I also learned the hard way; you can use too much sage. Be careful too much will make your dressing bitter. Therefore, forget that box stuffing; this recipe for homemade sage bread dressing is made in our home and I hope it is in yours too.

Ingredients for Sage Bread Dressing: 

• Bread crumbs from fresh or stale bread; 1-2 loaves
• 2-cups celery; chopped

• Onion powder; to taste

• 4-cups Turkey broth
• Turkey; chopped
• 13-inch x 9- inch baking dish

3)    Chop up two cups of celery and one large onion and add to the breadcrumbs.
