Add onions and celery to the same skillet and saute until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bread. Melt 1/4 cup butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Mix apples into stuffing. Melt 1/4 cup butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add parsnips and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Mix into the stuffing. Melt 1/4 cup butter in same skillet. Add sage and saute until dark green, about 2 minutes. Mix sage and butter into the stuffing. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Butter a 12x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Transfer stuffing to the prepared dish; drizzle with 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cover with foil. (This can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
