Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup margarine
5 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
½ to 1 teaspoon crushed dried sage
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 1- pound loaves sliced, white bread
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 ½ to 3 cups canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet. Add celery and onion. Sauté until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, sage, salt (optional), and pepper. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side (or you can use the toaster). Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point, stuffing can be made one day ahead, placed in a self-sealing container, and refrigerated.)
  • In a medium saucepan, heat broth to a simmer. Place dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add hot broth and stir until bread is evenly moistened, starting with 2½ cups broth and adding additional broth to reach desired consistency. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
