I have used the same stuffing recipe for 3 years. Got the favorite one off or recipes.com This year it was soooooo watery I had to strain it in the collander! Yuck.. major yuck! I dont think anyone besides me ate any. I gave the rest to the chickens this morning. I want an old fashioned stuffing/dressing recipe. The one with so much holiday flavor that people take seconds and thirds. NO cooked raisins!!! :Pyuck yuck yuck! no fru fru weird stuff... sage and onion... bread.. what else?

I make really good stuffing, but I don't have a recipe... I start with herbed bagged bread pieces (Pepperidge Farms, not too much herb), add minced onion and cut up celery, sprinkle in some poultry seasoning (which is highly sage, so if you don't have any, sage will do fine). I take the liver (don't like the hearts or kidneys) out of the bird and boil 'til cooked in approximately 1 part butter or margarine/4-5 parts chicken broth (I use the alleged fat free kind). Cut the livers 'til small (trust me, they don't taste like icky livers when cooked in stuffing). I add those and use the stuff they boiled in for moisture. If I don't have enough moisture, I just heat up a little more margarine/broth 'til it looks soft and moist enough (that's the key, use your own judgement there, not a recipe). I usually add an egg or two. Then cram in in the bird and make sure to baste it whenever you baste the turkey. Sorry I can't be more exact and I'm not sure if that's the type of recipe you're looking for, but it's just what looks and seems right for the amount of breadcrumbs.
