Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter or margarine
• 2 large celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
• 9 cups soft bread cubes (15 slices)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1 Melt butter in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in butter 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove Dutch oven from the heat.
2 Gently toss celery mixture and remaining ingredients, using spoon, until bread cubes are evenly coated.
3 Use to stuff one 10- to 12-pound turkey. Or to bake stuffing separately, grease 3-quart casserole or rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Place stuffing in casserole or baking dish. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.
