Description

This Simple Turkey Dressing is the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or any family meal. Made with bread cubes, onions, celery, sage, and butter, it offers a savory and satisfying flavor with crispy edges and a soft center.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups bread cubes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken or turkey broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add sage, salt, and pepper, then stir in bread cubes.
  4. Pour in the broth and mix well until the bread is evenly moistened. If the mixture seems too dry, add more broth as needed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to add enough broth so the bread cubes are fully moistened to avoid dry dressing.
  • You can prepare the dressing a day ahead and refrigerate it. When ready to bake, simply heat it in the oven.
  • For extra crispy edges, bake uncovered for the last few minutes of cooking.
