Traditional Thanksgiving Bread Stuffing
Recipe yields enough to thoroughly stuff a 15-pound turkey, with a bit left over.
Ingredients:
- 14 cups firm bread, (1 small Loaf) cut into small cubes: white, whole wheat, or a mixture
- 1 cup chicken stock, plus a bit extra if needed
- 3/4 to 1 cup butter
- 1 large onion, diced, about 2 cups prepared
- 3 large stalks celery, diced, about 2 cups prepared
- 1/3 cup minced parsley
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (Bell's was the preferred brand), or more to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Put the bread cubes in a big bowl and pour on 1 cup liquid while tossing gently so it's evenly distributed. Set aside.
- In a wide skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is translucent and limp but not brown. Add the diced celery and cook 10 minutes more, or until it is limp. Stir in the parsley, and poultry seasoning, then pour the mixture over the prepared bread. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss gently (stirring compacts the stuffing) until all is thoroughly combined.
- Taste for seasoning and texture. The uncooked stuffing should be a little drier than you want the finished product to be, but not much; add liquid if necessary.
- Bake at 375 for 35-40 min or until Stuffing reaches 165 degrees.
