<\/p>\n
I have to admit…a lot of my friends think I’m crazy…but I actually love hosting Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n
Since I grew up in Canada but now live in the States, I get to celebrate it twice! Once in October for Canadian Thanksgiving and once in November for American Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
Even if I don’t get to go home for Thanksgiving, I still make a turkey dinner with all of the trimmings for whatever friends want to come over.<\/p>\n

Luckily, this recipe works well either way you want to cook it.<\/p>\n The other benefit of this recipe? It makes enough to stuff an 18 pound turkey so unless you are having an army for dinner you could have some leftovers…and it tastes great on hot turkey sandwiches the next day.<\/p>\n Here’s the shopping list for this old fashioned celery and sage turkey dressing recipe:<\/p>\n The first step to making this traditional turkey stuffing recipe is to chop the bread.<\/p>\n You’ll need about 14 cups of bread that has been chopped into 1\/2″ cubes. It takes about 2 loaves of bread to make this many cubes (although that does depend on the size of the loaf). This is also a great way to use up any old bread you have hanging around, since stale bread works just as well as fresh.<\/p>\n Melt the butter in the saute pan.<\/p>\n Add the onions, celery and all of the spices and cook until soft.<\/p>\n Stir the vegetable mixture into the cubed bread in the large bowl.<\/p>\n And that’s it. You’re ready to stuff your turkey!<\/p>\n Fill the cavity at the back of the turkey.<\/p>\n I find it easiest to turn the turkey upside down to do this.<\/p>\n Then fold the extra flap of skin down to cover the stuffing. You can stake it closed if you want to make sure it stays closed.<\/p>\n Then turn the turkey over and fill the main cavity with the stuffing.<\/p>\n To prevent the stuffing from getting too dried out, cover it with an extra piece of bread while cooking.<\/p>\n If you are not using the dressing to stuff the turkey, add about 1\/2 cup of chicken broth to moisten the mixture a bit more.<\/p>\n Then put it in a casserole dish and bake in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes at 325F.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This old fashioned turkey stuffing made with celery, sage and bread is a traditional turkey dressing recipe that tastes just like Grandma used to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69,"featured_media":30488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1963,262,289],"class_list":["post-723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-linked-post","tag-thanksgiving","tag-turkey"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1,"label":"Uncategorized"}],"post_tag":[{"value":1963,"label":"Linked Post"},{"value":262,"label":"Thanksgiving"},{"value":289,"label":"Turkey"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/11\/Turkey-Stuffing-Recipe-3-1-720x720.jpg",720,720,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Wanda Simone","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/about-us\/"},"comment_info":19,"category_info":[{"term_id":1,"name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":138,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":138,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Uncategorized","category_nicename":"uncategorized","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":1963,"name":"Linked Post","slug":"linked-post","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1963,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":262,"name":"Thanksgiving","slug":"thanksgiving","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":262,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":289,"name":"Turkey","slug":"turkey","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":289,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"}],"mv":{"thumbnail_id":30488,"thumbnail_uri":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/11\/Turkey-Stuffing-Recipe-3-1-400x400.jpg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38681,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723\/revisions\/38681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Traditional](\"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/11\/Turkey-Stuffing-Recipe-720x720.jpg\")
