Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups stale bread
- 1 large onion
- 0.5 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons dried savory
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
Cut the stale bread into small cubes or tear it into bite-sized pieces, ensuring you have about 8 cups of bread crumbs.
Peel and finely chop the onion into small pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to sizzle.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the dried savory, salt, and pepper, mixing well to create a fragrant butter mixture.
Gradually add the bread cubes to the skillet, stirring to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
Once all the bread is well-coated, drizzle in the water or chicken broth a little at a time. Stir until the dressing is moist but not soggy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the dressing to cool slightly before stuffing your turkey. Alternatively, you can bake the dressing separately by spreading it in a greased baking dish, covering with foil, and baking in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 25-30 minutes.
