Introduction

I put this stuffing together when I was making my very first Thanksgiving dinner. It was proclaimed by all who ate it as the best stuffing. Ever. I put this stuffing together when I was making my very first Thanksgiving dinner. It was proclaimed by all who ate it as the best stuffing. Ever.

Ingredients

    Coarse Bread crumbs - about 6 cups or 20 slices of Whole Wheat bread
    1/2 cup "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" Light
    3 Medium Carrots, diced
    3 Celery Stalks, diced
    1 Medium Yellow / White Onion, diced
    1 1/4 tsp Sage
    3 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary (or 1 tsp ground Rosemary)
    1 tsp Thyme
    Water

    Optional: Dried Cranberries

Directions

Break up the bread into small, bite-sized pieces (stale bread is preferable) and put in a large mixing bowl.

Finely dice carrots, celery and onion and add to the bowl of bread crumbs.

Microwave the butter until it is liquid and pour over the mixed bread crumbs and vegetables. Mix well.

If you are using fresh herbs, finely dice them. Add the herbs to the bread/vegetable mixture and mix well.

Optional: Add 1/3 cup dried cranberries.

While continuing to mix, slowly add water until the mixture is damp and slightly 'sticky'.

Stuff the Herbed Stuffing into the body and neck cavity of the turkey. Loosely pack it to allow for expansion of the bread. Any leftover stuffing can be placed in a baking pan and cooked at 350F for about an hour.

After your turkey has been cooked, allow it to cool and then using a small spoon, scoop out the stuffing and place in a serving bowl.

Enjoy!

    O.K.
    This was good - I used 3 types of bread I had on hand. Also, for at least our family, I need to precook/saute the veggies before putting in stuffing - they were still a little too chewy/raw by end of baking w/o doing this. Thanks for submitting this - 12/1/19
