HOW TO MAKE A CLASSIC THANKSGIVING TURKEY STUFFING RECIPE
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
STEP 2
Butter an 8 by 11-inch dish. Bread cubes should be spread out on a baking sheet with a rim and baked for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
STEP 3
Take out of the oven, then place in a sizable mixing bowl.
STEP 4
In the meantime, melt the butter and olive oil in a sizable skillet over medium heat.
STEP 5
Add the onion, celery, green onions, thyme, salt, and pepper after the butter has melted.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring periodically, or until the veggies are tender. Add the vegetables and the toasted bread to a bowl.
STEP 6
Sage and parsley should be added to the bowl. Stir in the vegetable stock gradually while combining the stuffing. Add soy sauce once the bread has absorbed the majority of the liquid.
STEP 7
Bake the stuffing mixture at 400°F for 30 minutes. Serve right after adding the green onions as a garnish.
