Thanksgiving dinner is often characterized by its centerpiece, the roasted turkey, and its accompanying side dish, stuffing. Stuffing can be made from a variety of ingredients, most commonly bread, vegetables, herbs, and spices. While stuffing is traditionally cooked inside the turkey, this can lead to undercooked stuffing or a dry turkey. Alternatively, stove top stuffing allows for more control over the cooking process, and the stuffing can be cooked perfectly in a separate pan. This article will provide you with a recipe for a delicious stove top stuffing, made with ready-made stove top stuffing mix, cooked vegetables, and spices.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium onions, minced
2 -3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (I use Bell's)
2 cups turkey broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
hot water
2 (6 ounce) packages stove top-style seasoned stuffing mix

Steps:

  • Saute onions and celery in butter.
  • Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
  • Heat broth and set aside.
  • Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
  • Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
  • (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)
  • Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
  • Stuff your chicken or turkey. For a side dish place stuffing in a baking dish; cover and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread: Stale bread absorbs more broth and seasonings, resulting in a moist and flavorful stuffing.
  • Toast the bread cubes: Toasting the bread cubes adds a crispy texture and nutty flavor to the stuffing.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables, such as celery, onion, carrots, and mushrooms, adds flavor and texture to the stuffing.
  • Season the stuffing generously: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and herbs, such as sage, thyme, and rosemary, to flavor the stuffing.
  • Moisten the stuffing: Use a combination of broth and melted butter to moisten the stuffing. The amount of liquid you need will depend on the type of bread you are using.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Stuffing expands as it cooks, so don't overstuff the turkey. Leave about 1/3 of the cavity empty to allow for expansion.
  • Cook the stuffing to a safe internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the stuffing has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.

Conclusion:

Stove-top stuffing is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic Thanksgiving side dish. By following the tips above, you can make a moist, flavorful, and safe stuffing that will be a hit at your holiday table.
