Although this is a basic dressing, there are lots of additions that can be done while sauteing the onion and celery: 1 pound sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup dried chopped apricots, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1 dozen chopped oysters, 1 cup pecan halves, 1/2 pound crawfish tails.
This can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2-3 days prior to use.

    1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

    1/4 teaspoon crushed sage leaves

    1/4 teaspoon crushed thyme leaves

    1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth
