Ingredients
- Bread (sourdough or French): 10 cups cubed
- Onion: 1 large, finely diced
- Celery: 2 cups, finely chopped (about 3-4 stalks)
- Fresh herbs: 2 tbsp sage, 2 tbsp thyme, 1 tbsp rosemary (all finely chopped)
- Low-sodium broth: 4 cups (chicken or vegetable)
- Unsalted butter: ½ cup (1 stick), melted
- Salt and pepper: To taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cube the bread and allow it to dry overnight or toast it lightly. Finely chop the onion, celery, and fresh herbs. - Sauté Vegetables
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, cooking until tender (5-7 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper. - Combine Ingredients
Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over them. Add chopped herbs, then season with additional salt and pepper. Gradually stir in warm broth until the mixture is evenly moistened. - Bake
Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp. - Serve
Let the stuffing cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a side dish with turkey or other festive favorites!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of broth based on your desired stuffing consistency.
- For extra flavor, add cooked sausage or diced apples to the mixture before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
