Ingredients:

• 1 package Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing (14 oz.)

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until they become translucent and tender. This usually takes around 7-10 minutes.
3. Add the chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow to heat through.

5. Transfer the stuffing mix to your prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

FAQs

Can I prepare the stuffing ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the stuffing a day ahead. Just follow the instructions until it’s time to bake, then cover the stuffing and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to cook, let it come to room temperature and then bake as directed.

Can I cook the stuffing inside the turkey?

While some people do prefer to cook their stuffing in the turkey, it’s generally safer to cook it separately. Stuffing cooked inside the bird can absorb raw juices, which may contain bacteria. It also takes longer to reach a safe temperature, which can result in overcooking the bird.

How can I make the stuffing vegetarian?

Simply replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.

The stuffing is too dry. What can I do?

If the stuffing seems too dry, add more broth. Be sure to add the broth gradually and stir after each addition to avoid making the stuffing soggy.

Can I freeze leftover stuffing?

Yes, you can freeze leftover stuffing. Just place the cooled stuffing in a freezer-safe container or bag, and it should keep for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the oven covered with foil until it’s heated through.

Can I use another type of bread for this stuffing recipe?

Yes, if you can’t find Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing, you can use another kind of dried bread cubes or even stale bread cut into cubes. Just be sure to add your own mix of herbs, like sage, thyme, and parsley, to make up for the seasonings.
