Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Day-old whole-grain bread, cubed
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 stalks Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2.5 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Spread the cubed bread evenly on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly crisp. Remove and let cool.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables.
Add the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, fresh parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, ground black pepper, and beaten egg to the mixing bowl. Stir well to evenly incorporate the ingredients. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, low-sodium turkey stuffing!
