How to Make All Purpose Bread Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery and onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- If using, add the cooked sausage to the bread mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and chicken broth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently to combine. Make sure all the bread is moistened but not soggy.
- Spoon the stuffing into the turkey cavity, packing it loosely. Any remaining stuffing can be baked in a separate greased casserole dish. If using a separate dish, cover tightly with foil.
- Bake the stuffed turkey according to your turkey's cooking instructions. If baking stuffing in a separate dish, bake for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If using foil, remove it during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown.
