1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 stick butter, melted
1 beaten egg or egg substitute (optional)
1/3 cup to 1 cup chicken broth (as needed)
Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and saute the onion and celery (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the crumbled bread in a large bowl. Add the parsley, sage, marjoram, thyme, salt, pepper, and sauteed onion and celery. Toss to mix. Add the melted butter and blend well. Add the egg (if using) and thoroughly work into the stuffing mixture. Add the broth to lightly moisten.
If desired, loosely stuff the turkey. leaving a small, small mound of stuffing at the opening of the large cavity; this will become brown and crisp If stuffing the smaller (neck) cavity, use the flap of skin to cover the stuffing and keep it secure.
