Sophie's Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe
- 2 (1 pound each) loaves egg bread
- 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
- 2 large onions, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup chopped parsley leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread on a tray and leave, uncovered, overnight to dry out a little.
- Melt butter in a large skillet, add onions, carrots and celery and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Don't hurry this step - the browner the vegetables, the more heightened the flavor of the finished dish.
- Transfer to a very large bowl and add bread cubes.
- In a small bowl, beat egg and chicken broth together until well blended.
- Pour over bread mixture, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and toss well until vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Last, add parsley and toss again.
- Just before roasting, stuff mixture into the turkey cavity and neck crop skin.
- Fold neck skin over to cover stuffing and lay bird on its back.
- Sew or secure cavity by tucking the legs into slits in the skin.
- Roast as usual.
