My mother usually makes the dressing for our Thanksgivings, but she was out of town this year, so I tried this one. It's very close to the simple, yet delicious one she makes. It was good, but I had to add more liquid (turkey stock). As is, it was on the dry side. I also thought it needed more sage/seasonings, so I threw in some extra. However, overall, this is an easy, yummy dressy that's great for those of us who are not dressing "experts" like Mom!

This recipe was amazing! I made a few modifications based on what I had available: I used just 1.5 onions and about half a "head," or stalk of celery (6 ribs about). In addition, I added one diced apple to the sauteeing vegetables. I omitted the parsley because my grocery store had run out. I didn't have dried sage and thyme, so I used two teaspoons of poultry seasoning in its place. I added 1/4 cup of raisins into the final mixture (before baking). Finally, I felt like the recipe needed closer to 3 cups of chicken broth, but add it to your desired moistness. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Ok, so i have never made a home made stuffing......I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my partners family for the first time and they were all accustomed to having his moms stuffing. Then I made this stuffing, it all went the in the first helping! Everyone raved about it.....If you follow the recipe it will come out a little dry.....just add more stock and mix it all together and pop it back in the oven......Thank you to whom ever posted this recipe. It was the best stuffing I have ever had!

Excellent dressing. Very savory. I used 2T dried celery flakes, 2T dried minced onion, celery salt instead of plain and a 16 oz. bag of Pepperidge Farm brand cornbread crumbs. I forgot the eggs, as I'm not used to adding it and already had it in the dish ready for the oven, so I just left them out. This was delicious. LOVED IT!

This was SOOOOOO Yummy! This year for Thanksgiving I decided to search out a recipe for the dressing my Grandma made (and my Mom and I still make) to get exact measurements. (When my mom passes down a recipe she always recites the ingredients and gives me approximate amounts (Tear up a loaf or so of bread add some onion 7 celery, oh and a little butter....you get the idea) well, This recipe has the same ingredients (plus a few more spices) but it actually came out better than ever since it was not as dry! I did a few minor tweaks based on other reviews and my desire to make it closer to my Grandma's--- I added a little more sage since their dressing was mostly a sage dressing. Plus, a little more broth since a few reviews thought it was a little dry. I put a little less thyme & parsley in, since these never part of their original ingredients, but I thought they would make tasty additions nonetheless. It was a huge hit! Everyone that is used to my stuffing was pleased, as usual, with the flavor (I think it was actually better)but love the moister version! I am used to dry dressing, so I don't like the very soppy moist versions, but this one came out as a perfect balance for us. i will be making it this was from now on! Thanks!!

don't make my mistake leave the bread chunks bite sized... make them quite small or it becomes a bit like buttered croutons with some flavor. Also I think a bit more liquid is necessary. Okay but not what I invisioned...

Had excellent flavor. Loved the french bread! A little too dry for us, had to add quite a bit more broth, also added a bit more sage. Will make again with these changes.

I made this recipe excatly as it was written and it turned out dry and nobody would eat it. I guess it wasn't my family's taste. Next time I'll add more broth and just toast the bread or just let it dry out instead of drying and toasting.

My family loves sage stuffing in the turkey and sausage dressing baked in the oven as a side dish. This was a perfect sage stuffing. Stuffing gleans juices from the turkey and gets moist as it cooks. For this reason I cut the egg to just one and cut the chicken broth to 1.5cups. PERFECT!

This is basically a good recipe but for my personal taste I will make a few changes next time. If you are not a fan of a strong sage taste( as I am not) I would cut the sage in half, at least. Also I almost doubled the chicken broth , and glad a did because it turned out perfect when otherwise it would have been way to dry I think. Another change I made was to put alot more celery in. 2 stalks just wasnt near enough. I think with these changes i will make this my new dressing recipe :)

Really good dressing. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding about 2 Tbsp melted butter to the mixture at the very end. I stuffed all but about 1/2 cup into a 13 lb turkey and it worked really well. Unfortunately, because we brined the turkey, the dressing came out a little more salty than we would have liked, but it was still really good and I won't hesitate to make it again.

Mmmmm delicious! Just a word of caution, though... watch the cubed bread carefully while toasting it. One minute too long and they'll burn to a crisp, which I learned the hard way on my first batch hehehe. Also, I added approx. 1/2 cup extra chicken broth and it came out just the way I liked it. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!!!

Not a bad stuffing. Had to add a whole lot more liquid, I guess I'm used to a looser stuffing. Also added a ton more of the herbs, because I'm used to my stuffing very herby as well! Oh, and I also added some carrots. Overall, it was pretty good, not the greatest though. I'm used to stuffing with a lot more veggies and a lot more flavour. I only eat stuffing a couple times per year, so I guess to me any decadent stuffing needs bacon! Or something with that nice fatty flavour. A good healthier version though :)

This recipe was so much like what my Grandmother made, I just had to try it! I did use extra celery like another reviewer mentioned... I added 1 extra egg to hold the dressing together better, and rolled the dressing into fist-sized balls. Then I baked them on a greased cookie sheet @ 350º for 30 minutes. My husband thinks this is absolutely the best stuffing ever!
