Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 4 (diced) celery stalks
- 4 (minced) garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (minced) fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon (minced) fresh rosemary
- 10 cups (cut into 1-inch cubes) rustic bread (day-old or slightly stale)
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing) olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set it aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and celery and sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove the skillet from heat.
Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the vegetable and herb mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the bread and gently stir until the bread is evenly moistened.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious, homemade poultry stuffing!
