And when I say stuffing, I mean the most classic, herby, moist, and fragrant bread stuffing \u2014 just like what you get out of the box<\/a>, but even better. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Here\u2019s how to make that stuffing you crave, the one that is so indelibly connected with Thanksgiving, any time you like. It\u2019s remarkably simple, and oh so good. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n People get serious about their stuffing. Oysters<\/a>? Sausage<\/a>? Cornbread<\/a>? Keep \u2019em off my table. But I know that others feel differently. However, I would argue that for a majority of Americans (sweeping generalizations, love them) this taste of herbs and onion, so similar to classic Stove Top from a box<\/a>, is the taste that is quintessentially Thanksgiving. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We set out to recreate that taste in a simple, from-scratch recipe that can be prepped ahead and baked while the turkey finishes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now, some nomenclature. Stuffing <\/em>is what I call the bready-casserole-goodness that soaks up gravy and sits besides the turkey.<\/strong> Technically, however, this is just bread dressing. It\u2019s only stuffing if it\u2019s baked inside the turkey, which I almost never do. But I don\u2019t let the name trip me up; stuffing this is, to me, and it will always remain so. If it confuses you, though, then dressing it is. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now, I can\u2019t give you this recipe without one big caveat, and that is broth. A simple stuffing or bread dressing like this one has a bare handful of ingredients, so they really have to count. The single biggest boost you can give your homemade stuffing is turkey broth. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Sure, boxed chicken or vegetable broth<\/a> will do just fine, but the best stuffing is made with rich, savory, homemade turkey broth<\/a> \u2014 the richer, the better. That flavor is what you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Makes this Stuffing Recipe the Best? <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
