Chef’s Secret

For a richer stuffing, rehydrate the mix with chicken or vegetable broth instead of water, and sauté aromatics like onion and celery first.

Substitutions

Best Match

Dried Bread Crumbs (seasoned)

1:1

Direct substitute if seasoned with poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, and onion/garlic powder.

Stale Bread Cubes

1:1 (by volume)

Requires drying or toasting and then seasoning; offers a fresher texture when prepared.

Cornbread Crumbles

1:1

Provides a sweeter, coarser texture; excellent for Southern-style stuffings.

Rice

1:1 (cooked)

A gluten-free alternative for filling, but yields a very different texture and flavor; requires seasoning.
