Thanksgiving Stuffing

A nostalgic blend of flavors, this Thanksgiving stuffing is a comforting dish that pairs perfectly with turkey and will be a delight on your holiday table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bread (white bread, ciabatta, Italian, baguette, etc.)
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 3 and 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups celery, diced (1/4 inch)
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped (Italian flat-leaf preferred)
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped very fine
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups high-quality chicken or turkey broth (plus 1/2 cup more if necessary)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter (softened, for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F.
  2. Tear or cut the bread into bite-sized pieces and spread on a dry baking pan. Toast in the oven for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  3. Chop the onion and celery into small pieces.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped celery and onion for 7-10 minutes until soft.
  5. Chop the fresh herbs (parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme).
  6. In a large bowl, combine toasted bread, sautéed veggies, and chopped herbs. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Drizzle this over the bread mixture and mix until just moistened.
  8. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with softened butter. Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25-35 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Use stale bread for best results and feel free to customize with additional ingredients like fruits, nuts, or different herbs.
