• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut the bread into small cubes (if you prefer a smaller crumb, you can also put the cubes into a food processor for a few pulses).
• Place the bread cubes onto a baking sheet and bake for around 15 minutes. You are wanting your bread cubes to be dry and crispy.
• Put the dried bread cubes into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter.  Add in the chopped celery and chopped onion.  Saute until the red onion is translucent.
• Pour the butter mixture over the toasted bread cubes. Mix gently until the bread cubes are coated with the melted butter and the onions and celery are mixed in well.
• Add in the minced parsley, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, pepper and chicken stock. Mix well to combine everything together.  If your stuffing seems a little dry, continue adding a little more chicken stock. You want your stuffing to be moist enough that you can form a ball and it stays formed.  You can also add more salt and pepper to taste.
• The last step is stirring the beaten egg into the mixture. 
• Below are the instructions on how to bake it. You can either stuff a turkey with this Sage stuffing or you can bake it in a casserole dish.

Casserole Dish Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray the bottom of a large casserole dish (you could also use butter).
• Put the prepared stuffing mixture into the bottom of the dish and cover with tin foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Turkey Stuffing Instructions

• Place the prepared stuffing into the cavity of a turkey.  Any extra stuffing can be baked in the oven in a casserole dish. 
• Follow the instructions included with your turkey on the temperature and time for roasting the turkey. 
• Once the turkey is done, remove the stuffing and place into a serving dish.
