Fluffy Sage Stuffing

Fluffy Sage Stuffing

This sage stuffing is a family recipe we make every Thanksgiving. It's buttery, fluffy and seasoned with sage, onion and celery for that classic Thanksgiving stuffing flavor. A simple secret ingredient keeps the bread cubes light and fluffy instead of dense or soggy.

Equipment

casserole dish

Ingredients

¼ cup butter plus 1 tablespoon for greasing pan
2 stalks celery diced
1 large white onion diced
14 oz stuffing cubes
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 egg
1 tablespoon dried sage

Optional Garnish

4-5 fresh sage leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sauté veggies. Add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté celery and onion until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring as needed to cook evenly.
Add stuffing to pan. Grease a 9x12 casserole dish with butter.
Add stuffing cubes to pan. Sprinkle evenly with baking powder.
Add veggies, broth, and egg. Add cooked onions and celery to stuffing cubes, then pour in broth. Finally, crack the egg into the casserole dish. Toss to completely coat and saturate stuffing cubes.
Add sage. Sprinkle stuffing evenly with dried sage.
Bake. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until stuffing is hot in the center.

Notes

I like plain bakery fresh cubes or Pepperidge Farms stuffing cubes.
If you enjoy a lot of flavor and aroma, choose stuffing cubes with seasonings added or for a more simple flavor, opt for plain stuffing cubes.
To keep warm, cover tightly with foil and store in the oven at 170ºF.
