Categories     Herb     Side     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Stuffing/Dressing

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 good-quality baguette (1/2 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes (8 cups)
1/3 cup chopped celery leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped sage
1 cup turkey stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in lower third. Butter a 11/2-qt shallow baking dish or gratin dish. Cook onion and celery in 6 tablespoon butter with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with bread cubes, celery leaves, and sage, then cool 5 minutes. Whisk together stock and egg (if stock is hot, gradually whisk into egg), then toss with bread mixture until absorbed. Transfer to baking dish and dot top with remaining tablespoon butter. Bake, covered with foil, 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until top is golden, about 10 minutes more.
