== Commentary ==
My mother gave me this recipe to help me grow up and start cooking my own Thanksgiving spread. I have added a couple of minor modifications that are optional but give it just a little more zing.


== Ingredients ==

=== Mom's original recipe ===
NOTE: For fresh herbs, use TRIPLE the dry herb measurement.

* 3 qt. slightly dry bread cubes
* 1-1/2 tsp ground sage
* 1-1/2 tsp thyme
* 1-1/2 tsp rosemary
* 1-1/2 tsp salt
* 1/3 cup chopped parsley 
* 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
* 1/3 cup butter, melted
* 1 cup chicken broth

=== My additions and changes ===
* 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
* 1/3 tsp pepper
* juice from one orange
* zest from 1/2 orange
* 1/2 cup celery (additional)
* 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped



== Directions ==
Combine bread, seasonings, parsley, onion, and butter.  Add broth and toss lightly to mix.


== Preparation Notes ==
*Makes 8 cups
*Or enough for a 10-12 lb turkey.
*When cooking stuffing inside the turkey, ensure the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
