CLASSIC BREAD STUFFING WITH SAGE AND THYME (AMERICA'S TEST KITCH
This is an excellent traditional stuffing (we call it dressing here in teh mid-west) from America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. It was a huge hit at Thankstiving! I baked half in a small casserole and used half to stuff two turkey breasts. Next year I will make at least 1 1/2 batches, because my guests asked for more! I made this the day before, and refridgerated until I was ready to bake on Thanksgiving day. It turned out great!

Yield 8 servings (about 9 cups, or enough to fill a 12-pound turkey, with extra for baking alongside)

Steps:
- In 12-inch, heavy skillet over moderate heat, heat butter until hot but not smoking. Stir in onion and celery, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. (Vegetables can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Reheat before continuing: In 12-inch, heavy skillet over moderately high heat, sauté, stirring often, until heated through, about 5 minutes.)
- Transfer to large bowl and add stuffing cubes, parsley, celery salt, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in 1¼ cups hot stock.
- If using to stuff turkey:
- Use immediately to fill cavities and spread remainder in baking dish as directed in Classic Roast Turkey recipe .
- If baking in a casserole pan:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter 3-quart casserole or 9-by 13-inch baking dish. Transfer stuffing to dish and drizzle with ½ cup hot stock (stuffing baked outside of the turkey won't be soaked in the turkey's juices, so extra stock is drizzled on top to keep it moist). Cover with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is slightly crisp and golden, about 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
- Variations:
- Sausage and Sage Stuffing: In large, heavy skillet over moderate heat, sauté 1 pound bulk pork sausage, breaking up pieces with spoon, until meat shows no sign of pink, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to large bowl. Proceed with recipe, adding ingredients to bowl with sausage and substituting 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage for dried rosemary and sage.
- Dried Apricot and Pecan Stuffing: Dried fruit are better than fresh in stuffing because the latter get soggy with long baking. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1½ cups (6 ounces) pecans on rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop. In medium bowl, combine 1½ cups diced dried apricots and hot water to cover. Soak until apricots plump, about 30 minutes, then drain well. Proceed with recipe, tossing apricots and pecans with other ingredients in large bowl.
- Test-Kitchen Tips: Warm, moist stuffing is an optimal environment for bacteria such as salmonella or E. coli to multiply, so it's important to follow safe procedures. Be sure to make the stuffing at the last minute so it can go into the bird warm. This helps it move above the "danger zone" (the optimal temperature range for bacteria growth) more quickly during roasting. Stuffing baked outside of the turkey can be spread in the baking dish and refrigerated for a few hours while the turkey roasts, but it should be prepared on the same day as baking.
Tips:
- Use stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread will become too soggy.
- Cut the bread into small cubes for even cooking.
- Toast the bread cubes in the oven before adding them to the stuffing. This will help them to brown and give the stuffing a more flavorful crust.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the stuffing. Some popular choices include sage, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
- Add some moisture to the stuffing with broth, milk, or eggs. This will help to keep the stuffing from becoming dry.
- Cook the stuffing until it is heated through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked bread stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect bread stuffing that will impress your family and friends.
