Traditional Turkey Dressing


This is a recipe I got from a Williams and Sonoma cooking class.  In the class, we made two dishes - this one below and second one we added Jimmy Dean’s Savory sausage. We cooked and drained the sausage then mixed it in before adding the bread and broth. I like it better with the sausage. 
 

1/2 cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon savory
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
8 cups stale bread, broken into one-inch pieces
about 3 cups chicken stock

Melt butter in large skillet and add all ingredients except the bread and stock. Cook over medium heat until onions are soft. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the bread and stock and mix well.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour mixture into baking dish. Cover with buttered foil and bake until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. If you are baking a turkey, it adds a lot of flavor to the dressing if you use the basting bulb and cover the top of the dressing while it is heating.
