Ingredients:
1. Bread: The base of any stuffing is bread, and for this recipe, you can use any type of bread you have on hand. White, whole wheat, or sourdough bread all work well. Cut the bread into small cubes and let it sit out to dry for a few hours or overnight.
2. Turkey Broth: To add moisture and flavor to the stuffing, turkey broth is a must. You can make your own by simmering the giblets and neck of the turkey in water or use store-bought broth.
3. Vegetables: A mixture of vegetables adds texture and flavor to the stuffing. Onions, celery, and carrots are classic choices, but you can also add mushrooms, bell peppers, or even apples for a unique twist.
4. Herbs and Spices: The combination of herbs and spices used in this stuffing recipe adds a savory and aromatic element to the dish. Sage, thyme, and rosemary are the traditional herbs used in Thanksgiving stuffing, but feel free to experiment with other flavors like parsley, marjoram, or even a pinch of cinnamon.
5. Butter:Butter adds richness and helps bind the stuffing together. You can substitute it with olive oil for a healthier alternative, but the butter adds a delicious flavor to the dish.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots to the skillet and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the herbs and spices to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes with the vegetable and herb mixture. Gradually add in the turkey broth, stirring until the bread cubes are moistened but not soggy.
5. Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
7. Let the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving alongside your Thanksgiving turkey.
No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a delicious turkey stuffing on the table. This classic recipe is easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Serve it alongside your perfectly roasted turkey and enjoy the flavors of the holiday season.
