Ingredients

  • 4 loaves of bread, torn or cut into cubes (wheat or white)

  • 1 stick of butter

  • 1 large or 2 small onions, diced

  • 4–5 ribs of celery, chopped

  • 2 cans chicken stock

  • 2 eggs

  • Poultry seasoning and salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Bread:

    • Cube the loaves of bread into ½–1 inch pieces.

    • Dry the bread cubes by leaving them out for a few days or using a dehydrator at 165°F for about 2 hours.​

  • Sauté Vegetables:

    • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

    • Add diced onions and chopped celery; sauté until onions are translucent.

    • Pour in chicken stock and heat through.​

  • Combine Ingredients:

    • Place dried bread cubes in a large mixing bowl.

    • Pour the sautéed vegetable and stock mixture over the bread.

    • Add beaten eggs, poultry seasoning, and salt.

    • Mix until the stuffing is very moist but not dripping; add extra broth if needed.​

  • Cook the Stuffing:

    • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish or use it to stuff the turkey cavity.

    • Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.

    • Baste occasionally to prevent the top from drying out.
