Buy a loaf or two of Pepperidge Farm sandwich bread, 1.5 slices per person. You also need a lb or so of bacon, a large onion chopped, 1-2 stalks celery chopped, 1 to 1.5 lbs sliced mushrooms, and spices.
The Really Short Version: - Cut bread into dice-sized pieces. - Saute bacon, crumble. - Saute everything else in bacon (first onion, then celery, then mushrooms till mushrooms are well done), season to taste. - Toss bread, everything else, and some water or stock till it's a bit moist. - Stuff bird[1], put rest in pan. Roast.
The bird stuffing comes out soggy but really tasty. The pan stuffing comes out crisp-ish but not as savory. IOW, something for everyone.
[1] For really easy stuffing removal, line the bird's cavity with cheesecloth, leaving the edges peeking out. This forms a bag that you fill with stuffing, and pull out of the bird when it's done.
