Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 loaves white bread, toasted and cubed, including crusts and ends (about 16 cups)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, or 1/2 cup coconut oil (for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (use prepared, or see Note below for a homemade blend)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
Instructions
  1. The night before, toast and cube bread. Lay out on baking sheets, loosely covered with waxed paper or a lightweight dish towel.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter or coconut oil. Add onion and sauté until soft, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in poultry seasonings, salt and pepper, and broth.
  4. Place bread cubes in a large bowl and pour broth mixture evenly over the cubes. Toss well to combine. Place in large casserole dish coated with cooking spray and bake for 1 hour. For a moister stuffing bake 40 minutes, covered with lid or foil; remove cover and bake an additional 20 minutes.
Note
For homemade poultry seasoning:
1 1/4 teaspoons sage (can use fresh sage leaves; rub to crumble)
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
