Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Sauté celery and onion with butter in a skillet over medium low heat until veggies are tender.
- Warm chicken stock in a saucepan on the stove. Add poultry seasoning and parsley. Stir well and take off heat.
- Add heavy cream to chicken stock, stir well, then pour mixture over bread crumbs in bowl.

- Spoon dressing into cast iron skillet or large 13 x 8 inch casserole dish and top with pats of butter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top.
Notes
- If you like extra-moist dressing, add a can of cream of chicken soup to the mixture before baking. Lots of southern folks swear by this ingredient! Others like it better without. It's good to make a trial run before turkey day to decide which way you like best.
- Total cook time does not include the preparation of biscuits and cornbread the day before.
- Be sure to use chicken stock instead of chicken broth or the dressing will be too salty.
- The bread crumbs should be moist but not swimming in liquid. Pour the hot liquid slowly and mix as you go to control the texture.
- Dressing can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen before or after baking for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
