Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s bring Grandma’s Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe to life in just seven simple steps:

1. Dry the Bread: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 10–15 minutes until slightly toasted. This will help prevent sogginess.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onions and sauté until the vegetables are soft, roughly 5–7 minutes.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, and dried herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary). If using fresh parsley, add it now.

4. Add Broth: Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth to moisten the bread. Start with 2 cups and add more if needed. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.

5. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure all the flavors is fully combined.

6. Incorporate Eggs: If you prefer a richer stuffing, fold in the beaten eggs, ensuring everything is mixed evenly.

7. Bake the Stuffing: Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish. Cover it with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes to allow the top to brown nicely.

This simple, easy-to-follow process ensures that you will have a delicious, homemade stuffing that will remind everyone of Grandma’s kitchen.
