A traditional bread stuffing recipe with herbs, perfect for your holiday table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery (about 3 ribs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the onion-celery mixture.
  6. Gradually add the chicken broth, tossing gently until the bread is moistened but not soggy. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  7. Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For food safety and easier cleanup, it is recommended to bake the stuffing separately from the turkey.
  • If you prefer a moister stuffing, add a little more broth. For a crispier stuffing, bake uncovered for a longer period.
  • You can add other ingredients like chopped apples, pecans, or sausage for variations.
