Thanksgiving Stuffing (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 16 cups Dry Bread Cubes (homemade or store-bought).
02 - ½ cup Butter.
03 - 2 cups Onion, diced into ½-inch pieces.
04 - 2 cups Celery, diced into ½-inch pieces.
05 - 3 tsp Poultry Seasoning.
06 - ½ tsp Thyme (can be fresh or dried).
07 - ½ tsp Sage (can be fresh or dried).
08 - 1 tsp Salt.
09 - ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper.
10 - 2 large Eggs, beaten.
11 - 1½ to 3 cups Chicken Broth (adjust amount as needed).
12 - 1 Tbsp fresh Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish).

Instructions:

01 - Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery. Cook until vegetables are translucent, about 8 minutes.
02 - Stir in poultry seasoning, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and 1½ cups chicken broth. Remove the pot from heat.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the dry bread cubes with the broth mixture. Fold gently to ensure the bread is moist but not soaked, adding more broth if needed.
04 - Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread the stuffing mixture evenly.
05 - Bake at 350°F for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
06 - Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes:

01 - This classic holiday stuffing has a perfect balance of moisture and chewiness.
02 - Fresh parsley adds a touch of freshness when used as a garnish.
03 - The recipe allows for adjustments in broth quantity depending on desired moisture level.
