About this recipe
The dish starts with a classic Stove‑Top stuffing base, enriched by sautéed celery and onion, savory turkey broth, butter and a pinch of sage and poultry seasoning. The addition of day‑old bread cubes gives it a hearty texture without the need for a traditional bird‑stuffed recipe.
Serve the baked stuffing hot alongside gravy or as a complement to your Thanksgiving turkey. Its aromatic herbs and moist crumb make it a crowd‑pleasing side that captures all the comforting flavors of the season.
