Old Fashioned Sage Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a skillet, melt approximately 2-3 tablespoons butter on medium heat and sautè the celery and onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In the meantime, cube the bread and set aside in a large, deep mixing bowl.
• Place the cooled celery and onion in the mixing bowl with the cubed bread. Next, add the *egg(s), sage, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and white pepper. Toss to combine. *Usually I don't need more than one egg.
• Now stir in about [1] cup of turkey stock. Mix. Add more stock, about 1/2 cup at a time until the bread mixture is {lightly} moistened but not saturated.
• Place the stuffing mixture in a buttered ovenproof casserole dish and cover with foil.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, removing the foil about 15 minutes before the cooking time is completed to allow the top to brown.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Crush the bread into crumbs with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat and drain.
• Mix the eggs and chicken broth into the bread crumbs. The mixture should be moist, but not mushy. Use water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in the onion, celery, rubbed sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion, bay and a pinch of salt gently for 15 mins over a low heat until the onions are softened and translucent. Add the garlic and sage and fry for 1 min. Leave to cool for 10 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Stir the breadcrumbs and beaten egg through the onion mixture. Season to taste. Divide into 12 balls, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Bake on a flat baking sheet lined with parchment for 25-30 mins or until golden brown. Serve as part of a roast dinner.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On two rimmed baking sheets, arrange bread in a single layer. Bake until dry but not browned, about 14 minutes, tossing bread and rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a large bowl. (To store, let cool completely and keep in a resealable plastic bag at room temperature, up to 1 week.)
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add celery and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Add sage and celery seed and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to bowl with bread. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and broth. Add to bread mixture and toss to combine.
• Reserve 4 cups stuffing for turkey. Spoon remaining stuffing into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with buttered foil; refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake at 350 degrees until warmed through, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the butter until melted over medium-high heat; Add the onions, celery, and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Put the bread and stuffing mix in a large bowl; Add the parsley, dried herbs, salt, and pepper and toss to combine.
• Pour the sauteed vegetables over the bread cubes and mix together; Add the egg and enough of the broth, stirring, until the ingredients are evenly moistened. Taste to adjust the seasonings.
• Coat the slow cooker with butter, olive oil, or nonstick cooking spray.
• Pack the stuffing lightly into the cooker which allows for expansion as it heats up.
• Dot with butter pieces and sprinkle with a few more tablespoons of chicken broth.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
• Reduce the heat to LOW and cook until puffy and nicely brown around the edges, 4-5 hours.
• NOTE: The dressing can sit in the coooker, covered, on KEEP WARM for 2-3 hours before serving.
• Serve hot right out of the crock if you wish.
• FACTS: A 1-lb. loaf of bread will yield about 6 cups of cubed bread, 1 1/2-lb.=10 cups, 2-lb.=12 cups.

• Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side (or you can use the toaster). Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point, stuffing can be made one day ahead, placed in a self-sealing container, and refrigerated.)
