My Mamma's Stuffing
- 1 12 loaves French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 large yellow onions, diced
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 12 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 12 cubes butter
- 1 12 cups turkey broth
- Cut up french bread loaves into 1" cubes.
- You will have approximately 18 cups.
- Layer cubes on a large cookie sheet in 325 degree oven.
- Bake/toast for approx 20 minutes or until the bread is toasted but not as dry and hard as croutons that you get at the store.
- Melt 1 cube of butter in large saute pan.
- Add diced onion, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp sage.
- Cook on medium heat until onion is translucent.
- Remove bread cubes from oven and let cool 10 minutes.
- Place cooled bread cubes into a large bowl and add onion and butter mixture.
- Mix well.
- In a small bowl, combine turkey broth and rest of the seasonings.
- Pour over the top of the bread cubes and mix well.
- Bread should be spongy but not soaked.
- Place bread cubes into a crockpot.
- Add 1/2 cube of sliced butter slices on top.
- Cook on low for 3 hours.
- **NOTE** when making stuffing for Thanksgiving.
- Turkey broth is made by placing the neck and gizzards from the turkey in a large sauce pan, just covered with water and simmered for 45 minutes.
- Skim the top of any fat.
- If any broth is left after using 1 1/2 cups for stuffing, it can be used and added to the drippings when making gravy.
- **NOTE** dried sage leaves are used, NOT ground sage which would produce too strong of a sage flavor.
- Home grown & dried sage is the best.
