The Best Simple Thanksgiving Dressing

There’s something magical about the aromas of Thanksgiving. This dressing combines the finest ingredients to create a comforting dish that will have everyone asking for seconds. Let’s kick this off with a glimpse of what we’re working with:

The Best Simple Thanksgiving Dressing

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of bread (about 10 cups, cubed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (optional for binding)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating that oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot for when our dressing is ready to go.
  2. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted, toss in the chopped onion and celery. Sauté them up until they’re soft and translucent, which should take about 5–7 minutes.
  3. While that’s happening, grab your cubed bread and place it in a large bowl. This is where all the goodness comes together!
  4. Once the onion and celery are ready, pour them over the bread. Then, add the broth, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. If you’re using eggs, go ahead and add them too. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cover it with foil and pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes.
  6. After 30 minutes, take off the foil and let it bake for another 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once it’s done, let it cool for a bit before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like.

And just like that, you’ve got yourself a delightful dressing that will complement your turkey or any dish at the table. Can’t wait for y’all to dig into this! Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!
