ingredients
- 10 cups crusty country bread, 1 inch cubes (1 lb) or 2 packages pepperidge farm seasoned stuffing mix (I use this. Don't use Stovetop stuffing mix!)
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 3 celery ribs, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried sage or 1 tablespoon fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
directions
- If you're using bread, toast bread in a large shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just dry, 25 to 30 minutes.
- If you're using stuffing mix, you can skip this step.
- Cook onions, celery, and herbs in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until celery is softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir together bread or stuffing mix, vegetables, broth, and salt and pepper to taste, then cool completely, uncovered.
- Freezes extremely well.
- Stuff in the turkey or bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

I made this with Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix, and I used 41/2 tablespoons of onion flakes instead of onions, and 4 cups of chicken broth instead of two - two was not enough for 2 packages of stuffing mix. Everyone at our Thanksgiving dinner thought it was good, but I thought there was a little too much of one of the spices (not sure which one). It was a little strong. I guess for my first attempt at stuffing, it was pretty good.

Turkey was on the menu twice over the holidays with just enough leftovers for the turkey soup. When it came to this dressing they were looking for more! This is so similar to one of my favorites but unlike you I do not have it on paper! I used cubed white bread instead of the seasoned stuffing mix. We too are fond of sage and I was very generous in the measurement. I made this the night before, but am looking to giving the freezing a go. Thank you Cathy!
