Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick or 113g) salted butter
  • 2 medium onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 3 cups)
  • 6 stalks celery with leaves, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 4 slices thick cut bacon, cut into small chunks
  • 2 loaves (9-inch each) of french bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 cups warm chicken stock

Instructions

  • In 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, add butter and cook until melted. Add bacon to skillet and cook 5-10 minutes until bacon is cooked through and starting to get crispy. (There should be a lot of liquid in the pan.)
  •  Stir in onion and celery, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-10 minutes. You want onions to be translucent.
  • Transfer to a large bowl (the bigger the better) and add bread cubes, parsley, celery salt, sage, rosemary, thyme, cranberries, salt, and pepper. 
  • Stir in 3 1/2 cups warm chicken stock. 
  • If using to stuff turkey: Use immediately to fill cavities of turkey.
  • If baking entire recipe as side dish: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Transfer all ingredients back to original skillet. Drizzle with an additional 1/2 cup hot stock. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
