Instructions
1
Cube the bread and spread it out on a cookie sheet. Allow it to sit overnight to dry out completely.
2
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Toast the bread cubes in the oven until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, stirring once or twice during toasting to ensure even browning.
3
Once toasted, transfer the bread cubes into a large paper bag. Add all of the seasoning ingredients to the bag.
4
Shake the bag vigorously to ensure that every bread cube is evenly coated with the flavorful seasonings.
5
Let the seasoned bread cubes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for later use or proceed to utilize them in your stuffing recipe.
6
To prepare the stuffing now, sauté a medium chopped onion and 3-4 diced celery stalks in a skillet until softened.
7
In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned bread cubes with the sautéed onion and celery, any optional cooked giblets that you prefer, 2 whisked eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 1/2 cups of chicken or turkey broth.
8
Mix all ingredients together until well combined and let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the broth before using it to stuff your turkey or bake as a side dish.
