Our Best Turkey Stuffing
1/4 cup butter                                              2/3 cups chopped onions
1/2 cups chopped celery                         1 teaspoons dried sage
½ teaspoon each salt and pepper        ½ teaspoon dried savory
½ teaspoon marjoram/oregano             ½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 cups dried white bread, cubed           ½ cup chicken/turkey stock

In a large frying pan, melt butter and then fry the onions and celery together with the dried herbs, salt and pepper, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the bread and stock mix thoroughly.

Start the dressing by melting the butter and cooking the onions & celery
Butterfly the turkey breast cutting almost all the way through.
Open flat and flatten slightly by pressing flat and rub with salt/pepper.
Spread stuffing onto the turkey breast uniformly and roll up into a spiral shape and tie with a kitchen string.
Any left over stuffing can be wrapped in foil and cooked with the breast.
Rub with oil then season with salt and black pepper. Bake at 350F until the stuffing reaches 165F and the is breast is browned.
Let it rest for 10 minutes and then slice so the stuffing stays inside.
