Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter; 2 cups chopped onion; 2 cups sliced or chopped celery; 1-2 teaspoons salt; Pepper to taste; 3 teaspoons dried sage; 1 teaspoon dried marjoram; 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning; 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley; 2-3 tablespoons cider vinegar; 4 quarts of 1/2-inch bread cubes; 4 cups chopped, peeled green apples; 1 1/2 cups raisins; 1 1/2 cups lightly toasted walnuts, finely chopped; 2 cups vegetable broth, or chicken broth, or both

Servings: persons

3/4 cup butter
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups sliced or chopped celery
1-2 teaspoons salt
Pepper to taste
3 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2-3 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 quarts of 1/2-inch bread cubes
4 cups chopped, peeled green apples
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups lightly toasted walnuts, finely chopped
2 cups vegetable broth, or chicken broth, or both

1
Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the chopped onion and celery in it until they are soft and just starting to color.
2
Add about a teaspoon of salt, pepper to your taste, the herbs, and the cider vinegar.
3
Stir well and remove from the heat.
4
In a very large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, chopped apples, raisins, and chopped walnuts.
5
Add the sauteed vegetables and herbs with all their butter, and toss everything together until it is thoroughly combined.
6
Drizzle on about half the broth, toss again, and test.
7
You are aiming for a mixture that is soft and moist throughout, but not soggy or soupy.
8
Keep adding broth, a little at a time, mixing everything up well after each addition, until you have the consistency you like.
9
The amount of broth used will vary quite a bit, depending on what kind of bread is used and how dry it is.
10
If you are roasting a turkey, and plan to bake the stuffing separately but want the flavor of the turkey in it, you could add some drippings in place of part of the broth.
11
In that case, however, cut down a little on the butter.
12
If, on the other hand, you plan to stuff a turkey, leave the stuffing just a little on the dry side.
13
When the texture feels right, taste and correct the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
14
Spoon the stuffing into two buttered casseroles, or one very large one, cover well, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
15
Or spoon it into a turkey that has been prepared for roasting.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
