This classic Thanksgiving stuffing recipe is flavorful, easy to prepare, and pairs perfectly with roasted turkey. It features day-old bread, a generous amount of butter, and aromatic herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary, creating a dish with crispy edges and a tender center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf day-old bread, cubed (about 8 cups – French or sourdough recommended)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups diced onion (about 1 large yellow onion)
  • 1 cup diced celery (3–4 stalks with leaves)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (crushed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (start with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread the cubed bread evenly on a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes until lightly golden and dry.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the diced onions and celery to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl.
  7. Pour the buttery vegetable mixture over the bread cubes.
  8. Sprinkle in the dried sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss everything gently to combine.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and beaten eggs.
  10. Slowly pour the broth and egg mixture over the bread mixture while gently folding with a spatula until the bread is moist but still holds its shape. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak.
  11. Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9×13 baking dish and spread it evenly.
  12. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake for 30 minutes.
  14. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  15. Let the stuffing rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use stale bread for better texture and to prevent sogginess. If bread isn’t stale, toast cubes at 300°F for 15 minutes.
  • Adjust the amount of broth if you prefer drier or moister stuffing.
  • For variations, add cooked sausage, dried cranberries, or toasted nuts.
  • Warm the broth slightly before adding to prevent the butter from seizing.
  • For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely.
  • To store, cool completely, then cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Remove foil, splash with 2 tbsp broth, and bake 5 more minutes. Avoid microwaving.
