The History of New England Thanksgiving Stuffing
The Origins of Stuffing
Stuffing, also known as dressing, has been a staple on Thanksgiving tables for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was common to stuff birds with a mix of vegetables, spices, and even meat. As European settlers began to make their way to the New World, they brought this tradition with them, adapting it to the ingredients available in the new land. In New England, where the Pilgrims first landed, stuffing quickly became an essential part of the Thanksgiving meal.
A New England Twist
While stuffing may have originated in Europe, New England has put its own unique spin on the dish. The traditional New England stuffing recipe includes a combination of cubed bread, onions, celery, and sage, mixed together with melted butter and chicken broth. Some families also add a touch of apple or cranberries for a hint of sweetness. This simple yet flavorful recipe has been passed down through the generations, making it a cherished part of New England's culinary heritage.
Making the Perfect New England Thanksgiving Stuffing

1 apple, diced (optional)
½ cup of dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, onions, celery, and sage.
Add the melted butter and mix well.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, until the bread is evenly moistened.
For a touch of sweetness, add diced apple and dried cranberries to the mixture.
Transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is crispy.
Serve and enjoy!
