2 pounds bread use good-quality, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, skinless poached
1/2 cup parsley leaves minced fresh
3/4 cup onions chopped
1 cup celery chopped
1 cup carrots shredded
1 1/4 cups potatoes finely chopped and boiled
1 tablespoon sage leaves
1 tablespoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon thyme dried
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon turmeric
5 large eggs
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 1/2 cups chicken broth preferably homemade

1
Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
2
On 2 cookie sheets, toast the bread cubes for 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
3
Transfer to a very large mixer bowl.
4
Bone the chicken and very finely chop the meat, discarding the skin.
5
(I do this in the food processor while chicken is still warm.)
6
Add the chopped vegetables and chicken meat to the bread, along with the seasonings.
7
Toss.
8
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; add the evaporated milk and broth.

Pour over the bread mixture and blend.

The mixture will be quite moist.

Allow to stand 1 hour.
12
Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Transfer the dressing to an oiled 3 quart glass casserole that is 10 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep (at this point, dressing can be frozen for future use; thaw before baking.)
14
Bake dressing for 2 hours, or until the center of the dressing puffs up and is golden brown on top.
