Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz chicken or turkey Stove Top Stuffing this is TWO 6 oz. boxes
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 ½ cup celery diced
  • 10 tablespoon salted butter divided
  • 2 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 ¼ cup chicken stock or turkey stock, broth will work too

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉
    NOTE- there is no salt added to this recipe. The Stove Top stuffing mixture, salted butter and broth will have enough salt to flavor the stuffing.
  • In a large skillet over medium low heat melt 7 tablespoon of butter, add the chopped onion and celery. Let it sauté for about 15-20 minutes, so that the veggies soften.
    1 yellow onion, 1 ½ cup celery
  • Add in the sage and poultry seasoning and sauté another 5 mins.
    2 tablespoon fresh sage, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    Spices added to the onion mixture in the skillet.
  • Stir in the 2 bags/boxes of Stove Top stuffing mix. Stir well to coat with butter

Notes

  • Do not add extra salt to the stuffing. Between the salted butter, chicken stock, and the seasonings included in the Stove Top boxes, it should be salty enough.
  • Don't skimp on the butter, it is part of the reason this is so tasty.
  • Use a really flavor chicken or turkey stock for the most flavor
