Homemade Bread Stuffing

3/4  cup minced onion

1 1/2 cups chopped celery (stalks and leaves)

1 cup butter

9 cups bread cubes (I cut a loaf of bread into cubes and let dry overnight)

2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 tsp crushed sage leaves

1 tsp thyme leaves

1/2 tsp pepper

In large skillet, cook and stir onion and celery in butter until onion is tender.  Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes.  Turn into deep bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and toss.  Stuff turkey just before roasting.  Or can bake dressing  in a 9 X 13 pan and bake separately from turkey.
