This Classic Traditional Thanksgiving Stuffing is my favorite accompaniment to our traditional turkey roast dinner this year. I love Thanksgiving dinner. I always put a lot of effort into making it just right for my family. It wouldn’t be the same without a giant bowl of this stuffing.
The secret to this stuffing is to start with really dry bread. If your bread isn’t super dry, the stuffing will be mushy. Brown onions and celery in butter and add to the bowl with bread. Add the parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, chicken broth and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth and eggs and pour the mixture over the bread in a baking dish. Dot the top of the stuffing with butter. Bake until the top is golden brown and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently.
To make Classic Traditional Thanksgiving Stuffing, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 250 °F.
Spread the bread cubes evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet and dry them in the oven for about 45 minutes. Once the bread cubes are very dry and crispy, place them in a large bowl to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Melt ¾ cup of butter in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chopped onions and celery until tender and light golden brown. Transfer to the bowl with the bread.
Add ⅔ cups of Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves, ¼ cup of fresh sage leaves, 3 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and 1¼ cups of chicken broth and toss well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix 2 large eggs with the remaining 1¼ cups of chicken broth. Pour the mixture over the bread and toss well to combine.
Transfer the stuffing to the baking pan.
Dice the remaining ¼ cup of butter into 8-10 pieces and dot the butter over the top of the stuffing.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes with the foil covering. Remove the foil and bake for another 40-45 minutes uncovered until lightly browned.
Serve immediately alongside your Thanksgiving turkey.
