- Combine eggs and 2 cups chicken broth, whisking until smooth.
- Drizzle bread cubes with egg mixture, gently tossing just until moistened. Add more broth if needed to moisten the mixture, allowing the mixture to stand a few minutes between each addition to soak up the moisture.

Notes
- To Dry Bread: The bread should be slightly stale or dry. To dry bread, cube and leave out overnight or place on a baking sheet at 325°F for about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Measure after drying.
- Cooked sausage can be added to this stuffing recipe.
- To Stuff a Turkey:
- If you'd like to use eggs and this will be stuffed into the bird, use pasteurized eggs. The eggs can be left out if you are stuffing a turkey.
- Prepare the recipe as directed and cool completely before stuffing the turkey.
- The turkey should be loosely stuffed (don't pack the stuffing in) and extras can be baked on the side.
- Ensure the stuffing reaches a safe 165°F in the center.
