How To Make fresh bread stuffing

• 1

  Break up bread into bite sized chunks into large bowl.

  Dice and cook bacon until not quite crisp, saving bacon grease.
• 3

  Chop onion and celery and add to stuffing mixture; add bacon and pour grease over top of mixture.
• 4

  Add eggs, spices, butter and mix together; use a bit of warm water as needed in order to bind the mixture together until it holds its own shape.
• 5

  Rinse turkey and salt the inside.
• 6

  Loosely pack the inside of turkey with stuffing.
• 7

  Dry off the outside of the turkey by blotting it with paper towels.
• 8

  If you are lucky enough to have stuffing left over, shape into balls to place beside the turkey when it has about 1-1/2 hours left to bake.
