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)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If baking inside the turkey, prepare the turkey according to your preferred method. If baking separately, lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Set aside.
  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. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the fresh sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the herbs are fragrant.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the onion and celery mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes and toss gently to combine.
  7. If baking separately, transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp. If stuffing the turkey, follow your turkey roasting instructions.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can use a good quality turkey broth instead of chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a richer stuffing, you can add some sautéed mushrooms or crumbled cooked sausage to the mixture.
  • Ensure stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
