Description
A nostalgic and soul-soothing Thanksgiving stuffing made with day-old bread and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups of cubed sourdough or French bread
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 2 cups of celery, finely chopped (about 3–4 stalks)
- 2 tbsp of sage, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp of thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp of rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 cups of low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the stuffing to cool slightly before serving.
