Ingredients

  • 1 oz loaf French bread (white or whole wheat, cut into small cubes)
  • 3 lices center cut bacon (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion (minced)
  • 3 medium celery stalks (minced)
  • 10 fresh sage leaves (minced)
  • 2/3 cup chopped parsley
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Bell's turkey seasoning (or poultry seasoning)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If your bread is fresh, preheat the oven and bake the bread cubes on 2 baking sheets at 250°F for about 30 minutes, stirring half way until the bread is completely firm.
  2. Increase the oven to 350°F.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter; when melted add the onions, celery, parsley, sage, Bell's seasoning, salt and pepper and saute on medium low until soft, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
  4. In  a medium bowl, combine chicken broth and egg.
  5. In a large bowl add bread and combine with sauteed vegetables. Add chicken broth and egg mixture and combine well. If stuffing is too dry, add a little more broth or water until you have the right consistency.
  6. Spray a casserole with cooking spray, add stuffing. (If making ahead cover with foil and refrigerate).
  7. If making alongside a turkey, pour some of the pan juices from the cooked turkey over the stuffing. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden.
