Gluten Free Bread Stuffing
This stuffing recipe is plenty to stuff a 12 lb. turkey with some leftovers for baking. If you have vegetarian guests use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. We double or triple this recipe depending on the size of bird and the number of guests.
For a 24 lb. turkey, we triple the recipe and have leftover stuffing to fill a 4 qt. Dutch oven. Serves 25-30.
Ingredients
1/4 Cup (1/2 stick) butter or olive oil
2 Cup chopped brown or sweet onions or leeks
1 Cup diced celery
8 Cup fresh white bread cubes (1 loaf = 8 cups.) *GF Udi’s Whole grain bread
1/4 Cup chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. Salt
Dash of garlic powder OR 2 freshly minced cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp marjoram or sage
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 Cup water or chicken stock (if needed)
1 large egg
1 apple diced
Instructions
To bake: Place extra stuffing in a butter casserole or Dutch oven pot. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until nicely browned heated through.
Method:
In a pan melt butter, add onions and celery: sauté until tender. I make this the night before and refrigerate.
Remove from heat. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add bread cubes, apple, parsley, salt, and seasonings. Toss onion mixture in with the bread cubes.
In a small cup mix the water with the egg, and toss gently with the bread mixture. Stuff turkey.
Place the extra stuffing into a buttered casserole dish. Once filled dot with butter. The casserole will bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30-45 minutes until heated through and top is nice and brown.
Notes
What to do with your leftover stuffing, IF YOU HAVE ANY? Make stuffing strata! Use your stuffing as the bread slices, mix in spinach, broccoli, leftover turkey, sausages, whatever you have. Then add eggs and shredded cheeses. Season with salt, pepper, Mexican spices, green chilies, or Italian spices, peas and sun-dried tomatoes. So many ways to repurpose your stuffing. Great for your continued holiday family weekend brunch or breakfast for dinner. Full recipe coming soon!
