Classic Sage Stuffing image

This recipe makes enough to stuff a 12-15 pound bird. To make in the oven, omit the water and add one 14 1/2 ounce can of chicken broth to the mixture. Place the stuffing into a buttered 3-quart casserole, cover and cook for 30 minutes at 325 degrees; uncover and cook another 20 minutes.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1 cup celery, chopped
3/4 cup onion, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley
12 cups dry day-old bread, cubed (about 2 pounds of bread)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
water or chicken broth, if needed

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the celery and onions, saute until they are almost tender.
  • Add parsley, bread cubes, salt, sage, poultry seasoning and black pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure even cooking.
  • Moisten with a little water or broth if you think the bread mixture is too dry.
  • Stuff the thawed bird and roast it immediately - you don't want the stuffing to sit in a raw bird.
  • Stuffing is done when it reaches 165 degrees.
