How to Make Basic Bread Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups cubed day-old bread, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour in 1/2 cup melted butter and gently toss to coat the bread mixture evenly.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups hot chicken or turkey broth, mixing gently until the stuffing reaches your desired consistency. It should be moist but not soggy.
- **Option 1 (for turkey):** Carefully stuff the mixture into the cavity of your turkey before roasting.
- **Option 2 (for casserole):** Pour the stuffing into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
