Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of day-old bread, cubed
- ½ cup unsalted butter

- 1 ½ cups chicken or turkey broth
- 1 tsp dried sage

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish if baking separately.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery; sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
