Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing

An essential part of any Thanksgiving dinner, our flavorful Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing is baked until golden with a nice crunch.

What kind of bread is best to use in this recipe?

While stuffing typically turns our great with almost any bread, an important step in making it is to make sure the bread is slightly “staled” or dried out. This prevents the stuffing from turning soggy or soupy. We prefer using a mixture of both white (#1336) and wheat (#1345) loaves for more flavor added to the dish.

Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Chopped Onion (#5772), diced smaller if desired
• 4 stalks celery, diced
• 2/3 cup butter (#1723)
• 1 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 2 tsp Thyme (#1444)
• Black pepper (#1029) and salt (#1147), to taste
• 12 cups bread cubes, we like to mix white (#1336) and wheat (#1345)
• 3-4 cups chicken broth (chicken base #1038)
• 2 Tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 Tbsp fresh sage, thyme, rosemary

Instructions:

1. First, preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Then, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, seasoning (#rosemary and sage). Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Do not brown.
3. Tear the bread directly into a large bowl (You can cut it too, but this is a great way to get little hands helping). Add the onion, parsley, and other fresh herbs.
4. Next, pour the chicken broth over the bread until the cubes are moist, but not soggy, and gently toss. You may not need all the broth, so pour about half and gauge how much you’ll need to use.
5. Season with salt and pepper, then pour the mixture into a baking dish. Add some more butter across the top, if desired.
6. Place in the oven, bake for 35 minutes, then uncover and cook an additional 10 minutes- or until it reaches desired crispness.
