Ingredients
-
10 cups crusty country bread, 1 inch cubes (1 lb) or 2 packages pepperidge farm seasoned stuffing mix (I use this. Don't use Stovetop stuffing mix!)
-
3 celery ribs, thinly sliced crosswise
-
1 tablespoon dried thyme
-
1 tablespoon dried sage or 1 tablespoon fresh sage
-
1 tablespoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
3 medium onions, chopped
Instructions
- If you're using bread, toast bread in a large shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just dry, 25 to 30 minutes.
- If you're using stuffing mix, you can skip this step.
- Cook onions, celery, and herbs in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until celery is softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir together bread or stuffing mix, vegetables, broth, and salt and pepper to taste, then cool completely, uncovered.
- Freezes extremely well.
- Stuff in the turkey or bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
