- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the onion, celery, sage and thyme; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl.
- Add the bread and the vegetable-broth mixture and stir until combined.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter); sprinkle with the paprika.

- You can assemble this stuffing the day before - keep in the fridge until baking.
