Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup butter
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 (1-pound) loaf day-old sourdough bread, diced
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cook the onion, celery, carrot, and butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Remove from the heat, add the chicken stock, sage, chives, thyme, and parsley, and stir well. Place the bread in a large bowl, pour the mixture from the saucepan over the bread, and toss until all the liquid is absorbed. Fold in the cranberries and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispy stuffing, use day-old cubed bread.
  • Toast the bread cubes in the oven or in a skillet until golden brown for extra flavor.
  • Use a variety of bread cubes, such as sourdough, French bread, and whole wheat bread, for a more complex flavor.
  • Sauté the vegetables in butter or olive oil until they are soft and caramelized.
  • Add fresh or dried herbs, such as sage, thyme, rosemary, and oregano, to the stuffing for extra flavor.
  • Use a combination of broth and melted butter to moisten the stuffing.
  • Season the stuffing with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stuff the turkey or chicken just before roasting, or bake the stuffing in a separate dish.
  • Cover the stuffing with foil during the first 30 minutes of baking to prevent it from drying out.
