Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet, saute celery and onion until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat up 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth.
In a large bowl, toss cornbread cubes with sauteed onions and celery (don't forget the butter!).
Add the broth, a ladle at a time, tossing well each time until dressing is desired moistness. (See notes.)
Place in a oven proof baking dish and heat until piping hot. (See notes.)

Notes

Any type of dried bread, cornbread or sourdough bread can be used.
This recipe uses Mrs. Cubbinson's cornbread stuffing which comes seasoned. If using homemade bread, you will need to adjust seasoning accordingly.
Vegetable broth may be substituted for chicken broth for a vegetarian version.
If you don't have poultry seasoning, substitute dried sage and thyme.
If you'll be stuffing your bird, use less broth as the juices from the turkey will add more moisture.
If you'll be making the dressing ahead of time, wrap well and refrigerate.
Reheating time will depend on whether or not the dressing is warm or straight from the refrigerator.
