Bring to boil and simmer until tender. Remove giblets from cooking liquid; let bool, reserving liquid while giblets are cooking. Fry diced bacon until brown but not crisp. Set bacon aside with drippings. Saute onion and celery in 2 Tbsp butter until onion is transparent. Saute mushrooms in 1-2 Tbsp butten until liquid has evaporated. When giblets are cooked, dice and add to bread with onion, celery, and mushrooms, tossing lightly to mix. Add bacon and drippings and continue to toss. Add beaten egg, if desired, and enough giblet cooking liquid to make stuffing slightly moist but not wet. If stuffing is still too dry, add milk until moist. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Stuff large (10-20 lb) turkey or 4 cornish hens, and bake according to poultry recipe.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
