Turkey Stuffing
An easy Turkey Stuffing (or dressing, if you prefer) recipe that you will want on your table this year, and every year for Thanksgiving!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound loaf of French bread cut into cubes
- 5 tbsp butter
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 5 stalks celery diced
- 1 large egg beaten
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
- 6 sage leaves finely chopped
- 4 thyme sprigs just the leaves, chopped
- 1 rosemary sprig finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- At least one day in advance, cut the bread into cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet and allow to sit, uncovered, to dry out. Stale, dried out bread works the best!
- On the day you’re going to make the stuffing, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the tray of bread in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread starts to brown.
- Meanwhile, melt 5 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet. Sauté the onion and celery until soft and tender.
- When the bread is toasted, transfer it to a large bowl. Add in the onion and celery mixture, chopped herbs, 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper, and 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
- Add in 3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth and stir to combine.
- Spray a large 3 quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for 10-20 minutes longer, or until the top of the stuffing starts to brown. Serve immediately.
