Directions

1 Melt butter in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in butter 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove Dutch oven from the heat.
2 Gently toss celery mixture and remaining ingredients, using spoon, until bread cubes are evenly coated.
3 Use to stuff one 10- to 12-pound turkey. Or to bake stuffing separately, grease 3-quart casserole or rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Place stuffing in casserole or baking dish. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For 6 grams of fat and 130 calories per serving, decrease the butter to 1/4 cup. Heat butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth to boiling in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and cook celery and onion in the broth mixture.

Just about any kind of bread makes great stuffing! Try whole-grain, sourdough, rye, herb or corn bread. You can even mix and match bread varieties if you’d like.

This is the one! I used to make it out of an old Betty Cookbook from the 70's At the bottom of the recipe were suggestions for variations. I used the pecan one. Does anyone know if you just add the pecans or do you change something else?

I've made this recipe for 30+ years. Thanksgiving doesn't seem right without this stuffing. I don't measure the chicken broth just add enough to give it some moisture. Too much it's soggy. You can put some in the turkey and bake the other uncovered so you get a nice crispy top, yum! Then mix together. Sometimes I don't stuff the turkey and just bake it. I don't measure the onions or celery and tend to add more. The main thing I don't change is the ratio of thyme to sage and the amount of bread as that is the perfect favor combination. Happy Holidays everyone!

I'm making this tomorrow! After reading a lot of reviews on here, I see that people are putting chicken stock in the stuffing. I'd like to do that as well, but was just curious as to how much I should put in. Thanks!
