• Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package directions until al dente. Combine the rice, meat mixture, mozzarella, Parmesan and chicken broth in a large bowl.

• Place the cooled celery and onion in the mixing bowl with the cubed bread. Next, add the *egg(s), sage, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and white pepper. Toss to combine. *Usually I don't need more than one egg.
• Now stir in about [1] cup of turkey stock. Mix. Add more stock, about 1/2 cup at a time until the bread mixture is {lightly} moistened but not saturated.
• Place the stuffing mixture in a buttered ovenproof casserole dish and cover with foil.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, removing the foil about 15 minutes before the cooking time is completed to allow the top to brown.
• Serve hot.

"SIMPLE IS BEST" DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
• Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).
