Turkey Stuffing

This recipe is from a Better Homes and Garden cook book that we got as a wedding gift.  It's the only recipe I have ever used for stuffing!  This is for a 20 # turkey.  Even if the turkey is smaller, I make this much and cook what doesn't fit in the turkey in a separate pan.  ET

1 C butter or margarine
1/2 to 1 C diced onion

1 1/2 to 2 C chopped celery
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp poultry seasoning
2 tsp sage
1 C chicken broth
16 C dry bread crumbs

Melt butter on low in a large frying pan.  Add onion and celery and cook till transparent.  Add seasonings and broth.  Pour over over bread crumbs in a large bowl and mix well.
