OLD FASHIONED CELERY AND SAGE DRESSING

Ingredients

2 loaves sliced white sandwich bread (1 pound each), dried, and torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, plus more for baking dish and foil
4 celery stalks, diced medium
1 large onion, diced medium
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon (level) poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups (29 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth

Variations
Substitute unsalted butter and large eggs. Feel free to use homemade or store-bought chicken broth.

Cook’s Note
To make sure there’s plenty of stuffing (think leftovers), this recipe makes extra to bake separately.

Directions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On two rimmed baking sheets, arrange bread in a single layer. Bake until dry but not browned, about 14 minutes, tossing bread and rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a large bowl. (To store, let cool completely and keep in a re-sealable plastic bag at room temperature, up to 1 week.)

Step 2 In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add celery and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Add sage and celery seed and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to bowl with bread. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and broth. Add to bread mixture and toss to combine.

Step 3 Reserve 4 cups stuffing for turkey. Spoon remaining stuffing into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with buttered foil; refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake at 350 degrees until warmed through, about 25 minutes.

Late to the party, but I wanted to share a recipe for spiced nuts. Can’t remember where I got the recipe, but it’s not originally from me. Recipe is for small batch, but can easily be multiplied for larger batches.

SPICED NUTS

4 oz nuts- whole pecans or walnuts are my favorite
3/4 Tbls. Unsalted Butter(melted)
1 Tbls. Maple Syrup
1/4 Tlbs. Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Thyme
1/4 tsp coarse salt
1/16 tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place all ingredients in bowl, and toss to mix.
Spread onto baking sheet in single layer on non-stick sheet
Bake and stir till browned (about 12 minutes)
Let cool. May be stored for up to a week in airtight jar.

I only make a small batch, because once I taste them, I crave them. Once I made a big batch, and put into jelly jars with a festive ribbon for take home Christmas Treats.
