Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery and sauté 2-3 minutes until the celery starts to soften and is vibrant and fragrant.
Transfer the butter-celery mixture to a hotel pan. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
Cover pan tightly with foil. Let sit for an hour covered (or overnight in the refrigerator).
Heat oven to 350℉.
Bake stuffing at 350℉ for 30 minutes covered. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes uncovered until stuffing is crispy around the edges. Serve.
