Ingredients
- 1 loaf (675 grams) white bread (sliced sandwich bread)
- 3 yellow onions, finely chopped (the largest you can find!)
- 6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 5 to 6 celery ribs, finely chopped (large ribs, including the leaves)
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground savory
- 1 teaspoon salt (seasoned salt, or use 1-2 teaspoons white salt, or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 can (10 ounces) water chestnuts (drained and coarsely chopped, or use 2 cans if desired for a more nutty flavor)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Slice bread into 1/2-inch pieces (does not have to be exact, you should have about 12-14 cups cubes). Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally and rotating the sheet/s halfway through baking time until the cubes are lightly toasted; place in a large bowl.
-
Step 2: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until HOT and sizzling. Add in onions, garlic and celery (with the chopped leaves) stir immediately with wooden spoon; add in the poultry seasoning, seasoned salt and black pepper; saute for about 5-6 minutes. Stir the onion/celery mixture along with the chopped water chestnuts into the bread cubes; toss well to combine.
-
Step 3: Add in more seasoned salt (or white salt) and black pepper if desired to taste. Let the stuffing cool completely before stuffing the turkey or roasting chicken.
