OLD FASHIONED STUFFING
This is my grandmother's old-fashioned bread stuffing recipe. It may be cooked as directed, or inside the turkey. It's enough to stuff a very large bird.

SIMPLE SAGE DRESSING/STUFFING
Our family's traditional stuffing recipe for the Thanksgiving turkey. Although I have strayed from time to time over the years, this is the stuffing recipe I always return to. All ingredient amounts are estimated; Mom has never measured and neither have I. Mom wants me to remind you to be careful with the amount of sage you use. Start off using a small amount of sage then adjust as needed. Please note that for safety reasons I do not place the stuffing into the cavity of the turkey, rather, I bake it separately. Finally and most importanly, *please avoid using commercially produced stock in this stuffing*. This is the stock recipe I use every time: Recipe #55282 And the bread recipe I've used the past several Thanksgivings: Recipe #102949

Tips:
- Use day-old bread for the best stuffing texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and gummy.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Toast the bread cubes in the oven or a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Sauté the vegetables in butter or oil until they are softened and browned.
- Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs for the best flavor. Fresh herbs will add a pop of brightness, while dried herbs will provide a more concentrated flavor.
- Season the stuffing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Moisten the stuffing with broth or stock until it is just moist, but not soggy.
- Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely so that it has room to expand while cooking.
- Bake the stuffing at a high temperature, 375 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, for the first 30 minutes to create a crispy crust.
- Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to bake until the stuffing is cooked through and heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
