Steps

1Pre-heat oven to 375F-400F (190C-200C). Lightly oil a baking dish approximately 11 x 7 ½ inches (28 x 19 cm).
2FOR THE STUFFING
3In a medium pan add the butter, chopped celery and onion sautee for about 3-5 minutes or until translucent.
4In a large bowl add the sliced cubed bread, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, onion mixture stir to combine, start by adding 1½ cups of broth and combine, the mixture should be damp but not wet, if it is too dry add a little more broth.
5To stuff the poultry pieces either slice a piece including the meat or gently lift the skin (see the photos) place a couple of heaping spoonfuls (or more) of stuffing in the middle of the sliced meat or under the skin. Secure with a tooth pick or two.
6Place the remaining stuffing (about ⅔) on the bottom of the Baking Dish, and place the turkey pieces on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush the meat with olive oil, cover with foil or a brown paper bag (lightly brush with olive oil) and bake for approximately 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-170F (73-76C).
