Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe for your favorite bread stuffing
- 1 loaf day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your base stuffing ingredients (vegetables, herbs, seasonings).
- Instead of baking the stuffing separately, place the cubed bread directly into the bottom of your roasting pan, surrounding the turkey or chicken.
- Pour the broth and melted butter evenly over the bread cubes.
- Sprinkle the prepared vegetable and herb mixture over the bread.
- Gently toss everything together right in the roasting pan.
- Bake the stuffing directly in the pan juices while you cook your main protein.
- Stir the stuffing halfway through cooking to ensure even moisture distribution.
Notes
- This hack works best when cooking a whole bird in the same pan.
- Adjust liquid based on how dry your bread is; you want the bread moist, not soggy.
- Taste the mixture before adding salt; pan drippings add significant saltiness.
