Classic Bread Stuffing

Classic Bread Stuffing
If there is one thing you need to master for Thanksgiving dinner it is a classic bread stuffing.

This recipe is the traditional stuffing recipe but I show you a technique to make it either chewy or crunchy depending on how you want your turkey stuffing to turn out.

By the way, is it turkey stuffing or turkey dressing?
It’s the same thing, but when it’s inside the turkey it’s called stuffing and when it’s not, it’s called dressing.

RECIPE: Classic Bread Stuffing Recipe
SERVES 8-10

Ingredients:
½ cup butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
4 stalks celery, finely diced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp dried summer savoury
Salt (see note, below)
12 to 14 cups bread crumbs and cubes
1 cup or more turkey drippings or turkey or chicken stock

Instructions:
1. Melt the butter in a very large, wide frying pan over medium. Add onions and celery and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely tender. Remove the heat and stir in the parsley and savoury. Combine with the bread in a giant mixing bowl. Does it need salt? See below.

2. Stir gently but thoroughly. Transfer to a greased 9 x 13-in baking dish (or similar). At this point, you can stop and wait until the turkey is out of the oven.

3. Drizzle the drippings over the dressing. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 325F for 30 min. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 20 minutes or until it’s as crispy on top as you like.

TIP: Salt is tricky here. If you use salted butter and store-bought bread and broth, you might not need any. If you use homemade everything, you might need lots. Taste a little bit before baking and decide for yourself.
