STUFFING INGREDIENTS

You’ll need:
- 10 cups diced fresh french bread (or 10 cups stale bread)
- 1 medium yellow onion (1¾ cup), finely diced
- 2 stalks celery (1¼ cup), finely diced
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
- 3 teaspoons fresh minced sage
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
PRO TIP:
You can also use stale bread instead of fresh, left uncovered overnight, or you could leave out fresh bread uncovered overnight instead. For either option, you would not have to bake the bread cubes the next day.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
BREAD: Most any kind of bread will work in this easy stuffing recipe. White bread, French bread, Italian bread or whole wheat bread all work well. You can also buy bread already cubed if you don’t want to make your own bread cubes.
CHICKEN BROTH: Any chicken stock, either store bought or homemade would work fine for the stuffing mix. You could also opt to use turkey broth as well.
HOW TO MAKE THIS STUFFING RECIPE
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish, set it aside.
STEP TWO: Evenly spread the cubed French bread over a standard cookie sheet. Bake the bread cubes for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
PRO TIP:
Stale or dry bread cubes will soak up the broth and flavor much better than fresh bread.

STEP THREE: In a 10 to 12-inch skillet, melt ¼ cup butter and saute the onion and celery, uncovered, for 3 minutes, stirring often.
STEP FOUR: Add the fresh sage, rosemary and thyme. Saute, uncovered, for an additional 2 minutes.

STEP FIVE: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the kosher salt and black pepper, and set it aside.
STEP SIX: Using a large bowl and a wooden spoon, combine the cooled toasted bread crumbs, chicken broth and the beaten eggs. Stir until the mixture is well incorporated.
PRO TIP:
Don’t be tempted to add more broth than the recipe calls for, too much and you will end up with soggy bread and not enough will leave it dry.
STEP SEVEN: Stir in the cooked onion mixture until all ingredients are combined.

STEP EIGHT: Evenly spread the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking pan.
STEP NINE: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the stuffing is golden brown. Serve hot.

HOW TO SERVE
Add this delicious stuffing to your Thanksgiving table alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes and of course, pumpkin pie for dessert. I promise your guests will be going back for seconds of this moist stuffing recipe.
