Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 cup chopped celery, including leaves
1 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried sage
10 cups stale bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, lightly toasted
3/4 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned, plus more if needed

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add celery, parsley, salt, pepper and herbs and cook for 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl, add bread and broth and toss to combine. Let cool.
Fill the bird loosely with stuffing; place any remaining stuffing in a casserole and moisten with additional chicken broth. Roast the bird. Bake the extra stuffing, covered, for about 30 minutes, before serving.
