Old Fashioned Stuffing

My grandmother's turkey dressing recipe is an old-fashioned classic. It can be cooked as directed in a baking dish or used as stuffing and cooked inside your turkey. It makes enough to stuff a very large bird.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 30 slices white bread, lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Spread toasted bread slices on baking sheets and let sit out at room temperature until hard, about 24 hours.

Step 3

Crush bread slices into crumbs with a rolling pin. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl.

Step 4

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.

Step 5

Add chicken broth and eggs to bread crumbs; mix until combined and moist, but not mushy. Add water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in cooked onion and celery, sage, garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Press dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is brown and crisp, about 1 hour.
