CLASSIC BREAD STUFFING WITH SAGE AND THYME (AMERICA'S TEST KITCH
This is an excellent traditional stuffing (we call it dressing here in teh mid-west) from America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. It was a huge hit at Thankstiving! I baked half in a small casserole and used half to stuff two turkey breasts. Next year I will make at least 1 1/2 batches, because my guests asked for more! I made this the day before, and refridgerated until I was ready to bake on Thanksgiving day. It turned out great!

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread: Stale or old bread will not produce the best stuffing. Use fresh, high-quality bread for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread before adding it to the stuffing will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. Toast the bread in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Season the stuffing generously: Stuffing is a great opportunity to add flavor to your Thanksgiving meal. Don't be afraid to season it generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or celery salt.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to stuffing. Use a variety of vegetables, such as celery, onions, carrots, and mushrooms. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, corn, or bell peppers.
- Add moisture: Stuffing can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture. You can add moisture by using broth, milk, or eggs. You can also add moisture by adding vegetables that are high in moisture, such as celery or tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the stuffing: Stuffing is best when it is cooked through but still slightly moist. Overcooked stuffing will be dry and crumbly. Cook the stuffing for 30-35 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
