Preparation
If the bread is fresh, preheat the oven and bake the bread cubes on 2 baking sheets at 250 degrees F for about 30 minutes, stirring half way until the bread is completely firm.
Increase the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large saute pan over medium heat cook bacon for about 2 minutes. Add butter; when melted add onions, celery, parsley, sage, salt and pepper and saute on medium low for about 5 to 10 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken broth and egg.
In a large bowl add bread and combine with sauteed vegetables. Add chicken broth and egg mixture and combine well. If stuffing is too dry, add a little more broth or water until the right consistency is achieved.
Spray a casserole with cooking spray, add stuffing.
If making alongside a turkey, pour some of the pan juices from the cooked turkey over the stuffing. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden.
