Classic Bread Stuffing

There’s no need to be hesitant about stuffing your turkey! Here, we take you through the process for a beautifully-stuffed bird—every time.

Only about 2 to 3 cups of stuffing will fit inside the bird. Place the rest in a dish, cover and bake. Remember, the stuffing that cooks inside the bird will be very moist from the turkey juices. The stuffing in the dish will be a bit drier. This amount of stuffing will fit inside a 12-pound turkey. Double it for a larger bird or if you want leftovers.
