Ingredients
- 8 cups stale bread
- 1 large onion
- 0.5 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons dried savory
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup water or chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Cut the stale bread into small cubes or tear it into bite-sized pieces, ensuring you have about 8 cups of bread crumbs.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onion into small pieces.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to sizzle.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the dried savory, salt, and pepper, mixing well to create a fragrant butter mixture.
Step 6
Gradually add the bread cubes to the skillet, stirring to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
Step 7
Once all the bread is well-coated, drizzle in the water or chicken broth a little at a time. Stir until the dressing is moist but not soggy.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the dressing to cool slightly before stuffing your turkey. Alternatively, you can bake the dressing separately by spreading it in a greased baking dish, covering with foil, and baking in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 25-30 minutes.
