Stale bread is often less expensive and adds texture.

Start by caramelizing the onions in a pan on medium-high heat with butter and olive oil.

Once the butter is melted, turn the heat down to medium-low and stir the onions frequently for about 25-35 minutes until they are golden brown.

In a separate pan, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up and adding poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper until no longer pink.

Drain excess grease from the sausage and let it cool.

Add finely chopped celery to the caramelized onions and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes until softened.

Add minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, and fresh thyme to the onion and celery mixture, sauté for another 3 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Process the cooled sausage in a food processor until finely ground and crumbly, then transfer to a large bowl.

Add the onion, garlic, and herb mixture to the bowl with the sausage and stir to combine.

Add bread crumbs to the mixture and use your hands to combine everything.

Add the eggs and chicken broth gradually, mixing until the mixture is moist but not soggy, adjusting broth as needed.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.

Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, spreading it evenly without packing it down.

Cover the dish tightly and bake for about 35 minutes, checking for doneness after 38 minutes.
