📋 Ingredients:

  • 10 cups day-old bread, cubed (sourdough, white, or French bread)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped parsley, nuts, or dried cranberries

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prep the bread: Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and dry in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 30–40 minutes. Let cool.

  2. Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, melt butter. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until soft (about 8–10 minutes).

  3. Combine: In a large bowl, mix toasted bread, sautéed veggies, herbs, salt, and pepper.

  4. Add liquid: In a separate bowl, whisk together broth and eggs. Pour over bread mixture and gently stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes to absorb.

  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Transfer stuffing to the dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 more minutes until golden brown.


🍽️ Tips for Perfect Stuffing:

  • Use day-old bread: It absorbs flavor better and holds its shape.
  • Customize it: Add cooked sausage, apples, pecans, or cranberries for extra flavor.
  • Make ahead: Assemble a day before and refrigerate. Bake before serving.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I make this stuffing vegan?
Yes! Use vegetable broth and vegan butter, and skip the eggs or use a flax egg substitute.

Q: Should I stuff the turkey with this stuffing?
It's safer to bake it separately, but you can use it to loosely fill the cavity. Always check internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Q: How do I keep stuffing moist?
Be sure to use enough broth and cover it during baking to trap moisture.
