this is exactly what I do, except the eggs. Do we like the addition of eggs?

I make my dad's bread stuffing very similar to this--in the turkey and NO EGGS. It doesn't need it--and of course no broth either since the turkey adds the juices. And well, I guess no butter.
If baking out of the bird the butter and broth would be needed of course but when I have done it, still no eggs.
And I have never understood the instruction--stuff lightly. I cram every bit of stuffing I can in the cavity and under the flap of skin where the neck was!! Delicious and it is that combination of veggies and herbs that gives the aroma of Thanksgiving morning!
