I built this recipe for the site, but from the first bite it took me back to the classic stuffing my grandmother made, on my mother’s side. Except this one is even better. Soft in the center, crisp on top, with fresh parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme filling the whole kitchen. It is so good you will go back for more stuffing before you go back for more turkey!<\/p>\n
It all starts with the bread. I cut a baguette into cubes and dry it in a low oven until it is completely dry. That way it soaks up the broth instead of turning to mush. The onion and celery cook in butter with a little olive oil, the fresh herbs go in on top, then the eggs whisked into the broth bind everything together. What you get is a real mix of textures.<\/p>\n
I bake it in a dish, never inside the turkey. It goes into the oven covered first, then uncovered, with about forty little cubes of butter on top. After that it still needed a bit more colour, so I finished it under the broiler for a few minutes. The top comes out crisp and golden all over, the center stays soft. With my turkey and my make-ahead turkey gravy, that is the whole holiday dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
