Finely chop:
- 1 med. onion
- 1 c. mushrooms
- 2 c. celery
- 2 t. poultry seasoning
Saute in 1/2 c. butter until tender crisp. Salt and pepper to taste. (The above may be done the day before and refrigerated.)
In a greased casserole dish, combine:
- 8 c. seasoned croutons, bagged or homemade
- sauteed vegetables, reheated
- chopped giblets and neck meat, reheated with vegetables
Bring the reserved broth to a boil and stir into crouton mixture enough hot broth to moisten well. Bake, covered, at 350ºF for 1 hour.
