LOL - me, too. I love stuffing, but it always gives me heartburn, so
I don't eat very much of it.

Bite me, I use Pepperidge Farm croutettes, and find them seasoned just
fine. I use diced celery, onion, turkey broth (made from simmering
the neck, gizzard, liver and heart with miripoix in water - sometimes
I add some Better than Bouillon poultry base -- until the liquid has
reduced), diced bits of the cooked liver and heart - and butter. No
egg (what's the egg for, anyway?). I mix it all so it's just a tad on
the moist side - put it in a greased casserole dish with thin pats of
butter on the top - and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. I use my
otherwise unused microwave to keep it until I'm ready to serve - the
small "cave" of the microwave keeps the dish very hot.
