jaye said:This is my recipe...
Measurements are approx... I kinda just throw stuff in....
TWO STICKS OF BUTTER... YES, TWO
1 loaf of white bread - or any type you prefer, I use white b/c that is what I grew up with.
Toast the bread, cut into cubes
Melt butter in saute' pan.
Add approx 1/2 c. of chopped celery
1 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
cook until onions are transparent.
Add 1 T. poultry seasoning
pour over toast cubes, mix together
If you need additional moisture, I slowly add chicken stock (turkey if I can find it, but I couldn't this year) until I get the moisture that I want.
EVERYONE loves this recipe.... and as far as the two sticks of butter, this is only made ONCE a year... so I don't feel guilty!![]()
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!
Jaye
You can enhance your stuffing by adding ingredients like dried cranberries, chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), sautéed mushrooms, or even diced apples for a touch of sweetness. Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage can also elevate the flavor profile.
Yes, you can prepare stuffing ahead of time! You can assemble it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it tightly. When you're ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven.
Stale bread is ideal for stuffing as it absorbs flavors without becoming mushy. You can use a variety of breads such as French bread, sourdough, or even cornbread. The key is to ensure the bread is dry enough to hold up during cooking.
To achieve moist stuffing without sogginess, add broth gradually while mixing. Start with a small amount and increase as needed until the stuffing is just moist. It's also important to bake it uncovered for part of the cooking time to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Absolutely! Gluten-free bread can be used to make stuffing. Just ensure that you choose a gluten-free bread that you enjoy, and consider adding additional seasonings or ingredients to enhance the flavor, as gluten-free bread can sometimes be less flavorful than traditional options.
