Recipe--Sage Stuffing

Stuffing/Dressing is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving! We tried out this simple, old-fashioned recipe for our Thanksgiving this year, and it was definitely a hit! We didn’t actually stuff our turkey, but just served it as dressing. It was delicious and comforting.

Sage Stuffing

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced sweet onion

1 large Granny smith apple, cut into ½-inch dice

½ cup butter

2 cups chicken broth

3 cups cubed herb stuffing mix

4 cups day old bread cubes

2 tablespoons fresh minced sage

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Saute the celery, onion and apple in the butter until tender. Remove from heat and add the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add to the bread and stuffing mix along with the sage and parsley. Mix gently. If baking turkey immediately, stuff the turkey with stuffing (do not pack too tightly.) If stuffing is made a day ahead of cooking turkey, refrigerate until ready to stuff and bake the turkey. Put the remaining stuffing in a greased casserole and refrigerate—bake, covered, along with turkey the last 45 minutes of roasting time. Serves 8-12.
