Turkey Dinner...Dressing

Now it is time for the next recipe for turkey dinner, here in the US it is for Thanksgiving as well as Christmas. This recipe I have had for a few years. Everyone in the family likes it, even my dad liked better then my mom`s. Of course my dad has gone to his heavenly rewards. I still make this dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So here it goes;

Stuffing

1/2 cup butter
1 cup chopped celery ( I really don`t measure this)
1 cup chopped onion ( I don`t measure this either)
1 1/2 teaspoon sage ( I used to measure this but no more, I just put in what I think)
1 teaspoon thyme
8 cups bread cubes ( I usually get the package kind , along with the herbs)
1 ( 10 1/2-oz ) Turkey gravy ( I have used the turkey gravy mix as well as the canned turkey gravy, whatever is the cheapest)
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Melt butter in oven. Add onions, celery, sage and thyme. Saute until tender. Add bread cubes, gravy and parsley. Use low heat 2 minutes.
Use to stuff a 12- 16 pound turkey, as I said it is better to put dressing in another dish instead of in the turkey. Make sure the Baking dish is buttered really well. Then dot with butter and bake in oven to heat through at about 350 degrees. I usually put in the oven while the sweet potatoes are cooking. This is good even after the second day, if their is any leftover


I have tried it with homemade cubes, but I am not so good at making them, so I use the package kind with added herbs
