Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing
This classic Thanksgiving stuffing is rich, buttery, and packed with comforting herb flavor. Made with a mix of seasoned crumbs and soft bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, and just the right amount of broth, it turns out moist on the inside with a lightly crisp top. It’s the kind of holiday side dish that people go back for seconds (and thirds).
Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 3/4 cup celery diced
- 1 cup butter
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 cups chicken broth as needed
- 1 bag herbed stuffing mix 16 oz Pepperidge Farm
- 1 bag bread cubes 16–20 oz
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp oregano
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and herbed stuffing mix.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, and celery and sauté until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the sautéed vegetables and butter over the bread mixture and toss to combine.
- Add beaten eggs, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, and oregano. Mix well.
- Gradually add chicken broth, mixing until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
- Stuff the turkey loosely with the mixture or transfer to a baking dish for separate baking.
- If baking separately, bake at 350°F for about 30–40 minutes until heated through and lightly crisp on top.
- Serve warm alongside turkey and your favorite holiday sides.
Notes
Adjust broth gradually—different breads absorb moisture differently. For extra texture, bake some stuffing separately for a crisp top. Leftover turkey drippings can be added for even deeper flavor.
