Would you be able to offer how to cook this if it isn't in the bird?
Does this not need to go into the oven? Seems too simple
This is basically the stuffing we've always made, however we use cubed, dried bread rather then bread crumbs. I don't put it in the bird, but in a casserole dish, bake at 350 or 375 for 45-60min. I usually sub chopped fennel for the celery and often need extra eggs to get the right consistancy. Other herbs add nicely -- thyme, sage, etc -- if you like.

Can this be cooked in advance and not in the Turkey?
