Elaine Cannon's Turkey Stuffing

Another favorite family recipe I want access to online.

Elaine Cannon's Turkey Stuffing

Melt 2 cubes butter in large heavy pan.

Add: 2 finely chopped onions
2 to 3 chopped Roman Beauty apples (skins on) [I've never been able to find these and have just substituted other red apples]
4 to 5 chopped celery stalks

Cook on medium heat and stir until tender.

Add: 1 Tablespoon sage leaf (not powder), crumbled finely
1 teaspoon basil
1-2 teaspoons salt

Start adding chopped bread cubes. Add until it looks like the butter is used up (may need a little more butter) (approximately 8 to 10 cups of bread cubes). Then add one egg at a time (Maybe 2-3 eggs total) and stir and fluff (the eggs will make the stuffing stay light and fluffy rather than heavy.). Spread out stuffing on cookie sheet to cool completely.

Thaw turkey. Rinse bird, pat dry with paper towels. Stuff neck pa`rt. Bend wings back so bird will lay flat. Lightly salt the upper inside (breast underside) of turkey. Stuff inside of turkey. Spread room temperature butter on the turkey skin. Salt and paprika. Roast as directed.

OR

Put leftover stuffing in a casserole dish and bake casserole dish 1 hour. (350?)
