- Two or Three loaves of bread (home-made preferred, this year I used two Costco baguettes)
- One day before preparing break bread into small pieces; cover in bowl with towel to allow to dry
In large casserole:
- ½ lb butter
- 2 large onions coarsely chopped
- 1 cup (I use more) chopped celery
- 2 shallots finely chopped
- 3-5 finely chopped garlic cloves
- [I often include mushrooms, but this year I didn’t]
Season and toss the bread with
- 3 tsp salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 2-4 tbs chopped fresh sage (to taste)
- Can also add rosemary and other herbs as you like; I keep it simple. Just keep tasting until you like it.
When the buttery goodness is ready, mix the bread into the casserole until thoroughly mixed, evenly distributing the butter/onions/celery.
This all should be done the day before. You can use some of stuffing to stuff the turkey, the rest you bake in the casserole at 350 until the top layer is a bit crispy. Takes about ½ hour.
