Stuffing:
2 loaves homemade whole wheat bread, doesn't have to be fresh
organic sage
salt
pepper
organic poultry seasoning
2 sticks organic butter
1 med onion, pureed (food processor)
2 stalks celery pureed (food processor)
1 cup celery leaves
turkey gizzard package
4 cups water

Stuffing:
Step 1: Add celery leaves, water, turkey parts from bag inside, and 1 stick of butter to medium saucepan. Cover and let cook down couple hours for maxium flavor.
Step 2: Shred bread into large bowl or roaster pan (something you will have enough room to mix in) -- 1/4 -1/2 inch pieces.
Step 3: Add onion and celery
Step 4: This is the hard part because it is up to your taste preference and I have never measured. Add spices, they will be in generous amounts but 1 would maybe start with 2 T celerly seed, 2 T sage, 1 T salt, pepper to taste , and 1 T poultry seasoning. Mix it all up and start your taste testing...some like more of certain flavor than others. Add 1 stick of melted butter, toss with fork and fluff up. Start adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, fluffing up after each time. You do not want it too wet -- continue to taste test to your satisfaction. Better to add a little at time because it is easier to always add more.  It should be pretty dry before going into the turkey because the turkey will add more juices to it as it cooks.  
I promise I will do a better job measuring when I cook my Thanksgiving Turkey....
