Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old bread (cubed)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 4 celery ribs (finely chopped)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2.5 cups chicken or turkey stock (low-sodium)
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Spread the cubed bread onto a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the herbs release their aroma. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the cooked vegetable and herb mixture. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey stock and lightly beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and vegetables, gently stirring until the liquid is evenly distributed and the bread is moist but not soggy.

Step 7

Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.

Step 10

Allow the stuffing to cool for 5 minutes before serving alongside your turkey or other main dish.
