Dad's Stuffing

I watched a cooking show this morning on PBS devoted to turkeys and stuffing for Thanksgiving. She did a stuffing with bread crumbs and wild rice, and while it looked fine, I was positive it couldn't be as good as Dad's! So, getting into the Turkey Day spirit, I thought I'd post Dad's recipe here (and, Dad, if you notice anything off or missing, let me know so we can fix it...this is how I always make it). Enjoy!

Ingredients:


2 bags seasoned stuffing mix
turkey drippings or chicken bouillon (1 per cup of water)
apples, chopped (to taste)
1 cup chopped celery
onions to taste (fresh or dried minced)
raisins or dried cranberries

Following recipe on stuffing box, replace water with drippings or bouillon. Microwave celery with 2 tbsp water for 2 minutes. Add apples, celery, onions & raisins & toss.

Cover and bake according to time and temperature on box instructions, removing lid for the last 5 minutes.
