Preparation

1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, celery, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary and sage, and cook for 5 minutes. Place the mixture in a large mixing bowl, add the cubed bread and chicken broth, and toss to combine.
2. When cool, stuff the turkey and bake. If you prefer, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the stuffing and bake in a casserole for 40 minutes.
