Add the chopped celery and onion to the skillet and sauté until the onions are translucent and everything is soft, about 7 minutes.

Season the sautéed vegetables with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, which includes sage, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and chicken stock.
