🛒 What You’ll Need: Pantry Staples, Maximum Comfort

Grab these cozy ingredients—you probably already have most:

2 cups chopped celery

2 large onions, chopped (~3 cups)

1 stick (½ cup / 113g) margarine or butter, melted (butter = richer flavor)

5 cups crumbled buttermilk cornbread, dried out (see tips below!)

5 cups dry white bread crumbs (from stale French or sandwich bread)

3 cups warm turkey or chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)

1 stick (½ cup / 113g) butter, melted (for extra richness)

4 large eggs, beaten (binds everything together)

1½ tsp poultry seasoning

3 tsp dried sage (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1 tsp black pepper

đź’ˇ Pro tip: Dry your cornbread and bread crumbs overnight on the counter to prevent sogginess.
