1/2tspBell's Seasoning
2TBSOnion Powder
2TBSgarlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
4Chicken Bouillon Cubs
32ozboiling water
1 1/3cupsmelted butter or margerine
Instructions
Preparing the Bread
We use stale bread pieces. Mom collects her heels and other bread pieces before they get moldy and tosses them in bags in the freezer. The day before she makes the stuffing, she takes the bags out and lets them thaw.
Using this bread, shred it between your fingers over a large bowl. This is time consuming. we put on a Christmas movie and shredded away. You want small pieces of bread, not chunks and not breadcrumbs.
As you are shredding and getting a good layer of bread then sprinkle on some of the onion powder, garlic powder and Bell's Seasoning.
Continue the layers this way until the bread is done.
Making the Stuffing
Prepare the Bouillon according to package directions 4 cubes in 32 oz boiling water.
Melt the butter or margarine.
Using your hands, mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
After removing the gizzards etc from the turkey, stuff the cavity with the stuffing and cook your bird.
Out of Bird Cooking Method
Place stuffing in a large covered microwave-safe bowl and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring once, until heated through.
