Homemade Buttery Herb Stuffing Recipe
The best stuffing recipe, made from scratch with homemade sandwich bread, chicken broth, and savory herbs! It's simple to make and is way better than the Stovetop stuffing mixes!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of my homemade sandwich bread recipe, (a 1 lb + 6 oz loaf or 14 cups cubed stale bread)
- 1/4 cup salted Irish butter
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup dried parsley
- 1 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9x13 pan and set aside. Cut a sandwich loaf into 1/2-inch thick slices. Then cube the bread. You should have about 14 cups of cubed bread. Place into a large mixing bowl.
- To the bread, sprinkle over 1/4 cup of dried parsley, 1 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning, 2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. In a large measuring cup, mix together 2 1/2 cups of broth with 2 eggs. Pour it over the cubed bread along with the melted butter and toss to coat the bread.
- Transfer the stuffing to the buttered pan and bake, uncovered, in a preheated 400°F oven for 45-50 minutes. The stuffing should have a custardly-soft interior and a hearty, crisp outside. It's done when the internal temperature reads 160°F.
Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add an additional pinch of salt to the bread cubes.
- Stale or toasted bread is best for turkey stuffing as the dried texture from the bread absorbs moisture better without becoming too soggy.
- Always bake stuffing uncovered to get a golden-brown, crispy top and edges. You want the middles to remain soft and moist, while drying out the outside for traditional stuffing.
