Big thanks to Charlie for Grandma's Bread Stuffing. Realllly good and will be my

pat-nocal

Well-known member
go-to recipe for sure. I used a day old loaf of Trader Joes Pugliese bread, cutting it into bread cubes (leaving the crust on) and then toasting the bread cubes in a slow oven until they were fairly dry. Added the turkey giblets too, and turkey stock from cooking the giblets. Really good bread stuffing. Thanks for another keeper, Charlie.

Grandma's Bread Stuffing

1 1/2 cups diced celery

1 cup coarsely chopped onions

3/4 cup butter

8 cups day old bread cubes

2/3 cup turkey broth, hot, or low-salt chicken broth

2 eggs, beaten slightly

1 tsp salt

1-1/2 tsp sage

1-1/2 tsp thyme

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup chopped cooked giblets, optional

Saute celery and onion in butter until tender. While vegetables are cooking, turn bread cubes into large bowl, moisten with hot liquid, and cover bowl. When vegetables are tender, add to bread. Stir in eggs and add seasonings, tossing lightly. Add cooked giblets from turkey. Stuffing may be baked separately in a casserole in mod. oven (375 deg.) for 25 to 30 min.

Charlie's note: This is a basic bread stuffing that was our standard for years.

Close to mine too minus the eggs

Sometimes I add Portuguese sausage and if dressing is a little dry I add some milk.

 
Another vote for this recipe. I think the eggs are more apt to be used when the stuffing is baked

in a dish which we called dressing. The eggs make it puff up so nicely. I think it might be a midwestern thing?
