Notes


  • Poultry seasoning is a pre-mixed blend of sage, pepper, marjoram, rosemary and thyme.  If you don’t have the premixed version, you can make a combination of the spices, mixing well, then measure out 1 teaspoon. 

     

  • This is the classic version but if you would like to experiment, there are many additions you can make to the basic recipe.  Try adding ½ cup of one or more of the following, cut into small pieces:  mushrooms, carrot, apples,  cranberries, or nuts.

Cooking Time1 hr 15 min

Cooking MethodCasserole, Oven

Cooking Vessel Size9 x 13-inch casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery, including some of the leaves if available
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 (12-ounce) package herbed stuffing mix (about 8 cups)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter or drippings (see note)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat and saute the celery, onion and spices until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes.

  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the sauted vegetables and stir in the stuffing mix and broth until completely moistened. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole and bake for 1 hour until puffy and golden brown, but the center is completely cooked. (Test with a toothpick or knife in the center it should come out clean with no liquid attached.)

  4. Optional: About 15 minutes before stuffing is completely done baking, chop 2 tablespoons butter into small bits and drop it over the surface or, if you have it available, spoon 2 tablespoons of drippings from a roasting chicken or turkey over the top and finish baking.
