Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Finely dice one large yellow onion and chop about two cups of celery. If using fresh bread, cube it into 10 cups and let it dry overnight.
In a large skillet, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the cubed bread in a mixing bowl. Toss in the herbs, salt, and pepper, and pour in the warm broth.
Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Let the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving warm with turkey.
