Basic No-frills Stuffing
 
This is probably the recipe many of our parents and grandparents used... it's traditional bread stuffing and easy to prepare the night before -- just don't stuff it into the turkey until right before roasting!
Ingredients
  • 12 cups stale bread cubes (we use brioche and sourdough with crusts removed)
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cups celery, diced
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup minced fresh sage (optional)
  • 1 - 2 cups chicken (or vegetable) stock
Instructions
  1. Put the cubed bread in a big bowl.
  2. Melt butter in a large pot. Add onion and celery and cook on low until softened but not browned. Add to bread.
  3. Add salt, pepper, parsley, sage and toss until combined.
  4. Add the stock and mix well.
  5. You can stuff this in your turkey* or bake in lightly greased casserole at 325 degrees until heated through, about 45 minutes.
  6. *If you stuff the turkey, be sure to remove the stuffing promptly after the turkey is cooked.
