  2. Melt butter and saute onions and celery until almost translucent. Add to herbed cornbread cubes in large bowl along with the melted butter and mix well.

  3. Add chopped giblets and shredded neck meat and mix well. Drizzle chicken broth and a splash of white wine over all and mix well until just moistened (if stuffing in bird -- stuffing will continue to get moister as it cooks in bird).

  4. Salt and pepper stuffing to taste -- but do not over-salt-- juices from bird will flavor as well.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  5. Stuff in bird and bake. Or if baking separately -- place in casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
