If you're talking stuffing it's gotta be in the bird, Yes it's not "simple" but so totally worth it. 1st buy a good loaf of bread any type will work but I think a country white or buttermilk works best. Cut sliced bread into small cubes put on a cookie sheet and put in oven at @ 350 degrees until all cubes are dry and crisp. Next saute in butter 1 lb. to 1 1/2 lb. of chicken livers yes chicken livers, trust me now, until cooked through. Do not over cook, remove from pan and add 1 1/2 cups each fine chopped celery and onion saute until slightly transparent. In a large bowl combine dried bread cubes, chicken livers chopped fine, celery and onion mixture, approx. 2 tsp. salt (more or less you know how salty you like it) approx. 1 1/2 tbsp. poultry seasoning. Mix well, you might as well use your hands because the next step is stuffing the bird. Prepare the inside of turkey (after you soaked it in salt water for an hour) with a sprinkling of salt, fill bird with stuffing mixture, really pack it, and close with a lacing kit found at most supermarkets. Also fill neck area with stuffing and close this area too. I personally use thick cotton thread and a large leatherman's needle and sew it shut (like Dr. Frankenstein). If you don't tell people about the chicken liver they will swear it's the best stuffing they ever had. If you absolutely can't stuff the bird I have had some success with extra stuffing putting it in a glass pan and pouring a cup or two of stock or canned chicken stock over it and cover with foil make vent holes and bake at 350 for 25 to 35 minutes. Don't forget to baste your bird while cooking with stock. What's stock? It's the contents of that plastic bag you normally through away from inside your bird. To a six quart stock pot (hence the name"stock pot") add the neck, heart, kidneys, and liver of your turkey along with a quartered onion, the base of the celery stalk, salt, and a tsp. of poultry spice cover with water and put on a back burner on low heat. This should be the 1st thing you do Thanksgiving morning! It serves as basting liquid for the bird and use it to make your gravy too. If you're one of those people whose Mother's made them eat liver I understand you can subsitute Italian sausage or diced chicken but you're all grown up now try the chicken liver you will be converted. You can use this basic recipe and cut corners if you want, just buy the bread cubes already dried in a package. Use canned stock you can buy prechopped celery and onion too.

This is a very moist stuffing... and easy. It was featured in a cooking magazine a few years ago, and now it's my family's favorite. We have it during the holidays but during the year, too.

Get Bob Evans savory sage sausage. Crumble and fry with onion and sliced fresh mushrooms. Pour off grease.

Add this mixture to cubed stuffing (buy in bread aisle), along with chicken broth, and a good, coarsely-ground pepper. Mixture should be pretty wet. You can use the directions on the package to tell how much broth.

Pour into glass dish sprayed with Pam. Bake.

This dressing can also be put into the turkey, but it's so dangerous in terms of food-poisoning, that I never do that any more.

My mother-in-law is a terrific cook, however one Thanksgiving or Christmas meal she made a stuffed turkey and the stuffing was AWESOME ! She later then told me it was simply STOVE TOP stuffing mix that she added some onions, chicken stock, mushrooms and ground sausage to ! It was super easy and EVERYONE raved ! Is that simple enough ! You can use the cornbread stuffing and add dried cranberries and orange zest... For something "different"... Good luck

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNGoz

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Buy the bags of stuffing cubes with onion and sage already in it.
Add onions, celery, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, 1 stick of butter and chicken broth, Add as much broth to it to make it as moist as you would like it. I use this for stuffing my turkey or you can make a casserole in the oven.
