Basic Stuffing
Such a good Basic Stuffing recipe!
INGREDIENTS
2 Loaves Cubed Italian Bread
1 Cup Butter
4 Stalks Diced Celery
4 Minced Shallots
3 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
½ Cup White Wine
½ Cup Chopped Parsley
3 Large Beaten Eggs
10 Ounces Chicken Broth
Arrange the bread cubes on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Bake for 10 minutes until crisp. You don’t want the bread to get browned though. In a large skillet melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the white wine and cook another 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread, eggs and parsley to the vegetables. Add the salt & pepper and combine well. Mix in half of the chicken broth. Continue to add the chicken broth until the stuffing is moist, but NOT wet. Stuff the turkey with 4 to 6 cups of stuffing. Place the remaining stuffing into a greased 8 inch square baking dish. Cover the baking dish with greased foil. Place in the refrigerator until the turkey is removed from the oven to rest. Place the baking dish in the oven, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until golden. Serves 8
