Although turkey may be the star of Thanksgiving, a holiday dinner is probably not complete without a side of stuffing.

The classic dish is sometimes called dressing and can be stuffed inside the turkey or made on the side. While buying a box of stuff is an easy method, making the traditional dish from scratch at home is simpler than you would think.

Luckily, Delish has made an easy stuffing recipe that you can begin preparing the night before Thanksgiving dinner for that classic taste.

Impress your guests with this year's stuffing by following these five easy steps for Thanksgiving stuffing.

Ingredients:

  • 2 baguettes or country-style or sourdough bread loaves (about 1 lb.)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for baking dish
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (about 2 ¼ cups)
  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp. fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten to blend

Directions:

1. Slice or tear the bread into ¼ inch cubes. Transfer the bread to a baking sheet or in a large bowl and leave it out overnight to dry out. For preparation on the day of, place the bread in the oven on a baking sheet at 200 degrees until dried, about 20 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.

3. Melt ½ cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the celery and onion, stirring occasionally. Cook until veggies are softened and fragrant, about eight minutes. Stir in sage, garlic, thyme, parsley, and rosemary. Cook until fragrant for about another minute, and season with salt and pepper.

4. In a large bowl, toss the bread and onion mixture to combine. Use a medium bowl to whisk eggs and broth before pouring the contents over the bread mixture. Generously season with salt and pepper and toss until it is completely coated. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and cover it with foil.

5. Bake for 45 minutes. Then uncover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the bread is golden brown and toasted.
