Absolutely the Best Stuffing... Ever!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 1 lb bacon, thick sliced cut into 1-inch cubes semi frozen and use scissors for easy cutting
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2-4 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 loaf white bread (use fresh or stale but still soft cut into 1-inch cubes. Use a serrated knife so as not to squish it)
• 1/2 cup turkey gizzard, boiled and chopped fine (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl place the bread cubes; set aside. In large skillet, melt butter. Add bacon and sauté until bacon is cooked but not crisp.

2. 2

   Add onion and celery, cook until the onions are almost translucent and bacon starts to crisp. Do not drain. Remove skillet from stove; allow 10 minutes or so to cool.

3. 3

   Pour over bread cubes (with optional gizzards) and toss. It should be cool enough now to mix with hands (squishing like making a meatloaf). Stuff and tie turkey or chickens.

4. 4

   Cook as directed for STUFFED turkey or chicken.
