This month I’m going to share a few favorite Thanksgiving recipes. This stuffing is always a big hit. I suggest you make it once before the big day in case you want to make any changes. Make your favorite and this one too!
What You Need
1 Lb. Fresh bread (torn into 2-inch cubes)
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups white onion (diced)
1 cup celery (diced)
1 cup carrots (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups chestnuts (cut into 3 pieces)
2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
6 oz. dried cranberries (cherry flavored is best)
2 Tbsp thyme leaves (chopped)
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 cup flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Large roasting pan
Large Bowl
3 Qt baking dish
Large skillet
Whisk
Small bowl or four cup measuring cup
Foil
Before You Start preheat oven to 300°F.
Let Make It! Place bread in a roasting pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, gently stirring bread twice, until lightly toasted and firm. Cool completely; place into a large bowl. Butter a 3-quart baking dish with 1 Tbsp of the butter. Melt remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and sauté 8 minutes, stirring frequently, or until vegetables are softened. Stir in chestnuts, apples, cranberries, thyme, salt, and pepper; sauté 4 minutes longer. Add mixture to bread with parsley and toss until well blended. Whisk eggs, cream and broth in small bowl or a 4-cup measure; drizzle mixture over stuffing mixture and gently toss until evenly moistened. Spoon dressing into prepared baking dish; cover with foil. Forty-five minutes before serving the turkey, place stuffing in a 350°F. oven; bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until stuffing is hot, browned and slightly crisp on top.

Hi Katherine! I'm from the South and we do our cornbread stuffing. Your recipe looks good but gotta stick with tradition!

Totally different from our cornbread dressin', but sounds scrumptious! Like Linda, I'm stickin' with tradition for the holidays, but this is a dish I WILL make for a good fall meal!
