Ingredients:
1. Bread:
The key ingredient in any dressing is the bread. Choose a good quality sourdough or french bread for a hearty and flavorful base. Cut the bread into small cubes and let it sit out overnight to dry out. This will ensure that the bread absorbs all the delicious flavors of the other ingredients.
2. Aromatic Vegetables:
To add depth and complexity to the dressing, we need to sauté some onion, celery, and carrots. These aromatic vegetables will provide a savory and slightly sweet base to the dish. Make sure to sauté them until they are soft and fragrant.
3. Herbs and Spices:
No dressing is complete without a blend of herbs and spices. For a traditional Thanksgiving dressing, we recommend using sage, thyme, and rosemary. These herbs will bring a warm and earthy flavor to the dish. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a touch of sweetness.
4. Chicken or Turkey Broth:
To ensure that the dressing is moist and flavorful, we need to add some chicken or turkey broth. You can use homemade broth or store-bought, whichever you prefer. Adding broth will also help to bind the ingredients together and keep the dressing from becoming too dry.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion, celery, and carrots until they are soft and fragrant.
3. Add in the herbs and spices and sauté for an additional minute.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the dried bread cubes and mix well.
5. Gradually add in the chicken or turkey broth, mixing until the bread is moist but not soggy.
6. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve and enjoy alongside your Thanksgiving turkey and other delicious side dishes.
Using this simple and delicious recipe, you can create a traditional Thanksgiving dressing that will be a hit with your family and friends. The combination of savory bread, aromatic vegetables, and warm herbs and spices will bring warmth and comfort to your holiday meal.
