Description
A cozy and traditional recipe for Grandma’s Thanksgiving Stuffing, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of stale bread (preferably French or sourdough)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Tear the stale bread into small pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the dried sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine for an additional minute.
- Pour the sautéed vegetables into the bowl with the bread. Gradually add the vegetable broth while stirring until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Once done, take it out of the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding cooked sausage or nuts.
- Make sure the bread is stale for the best texture.
- This stuffing can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving.
