Can You Make It Ahead of Time?
You can make this stuffing the day before, so you have one less thing to do in the kitchen on the day! Once it is cooked, chill the stuffing and then store it covered in the fridge. The next day you can use it to stuff your turkey or bake it. To bake it, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish and place it in a preheated oven at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes.
An Easy Holiday Side Dish For The Whole Family
I love how simple and easy this stuffing is to make and it’s always a crowd-pleaser at our house. This recipe is really delicious and it’s just asking for gravy to be poured all over it!
Chef’s Tips
- Be sure to let the sliced bread air dry for at least an hour before cooking it. This will help it to get nice and crispy.
- Once it has cooked, chill the stuffing in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
- To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, use vegan butter (like Miyoko’s) instead of butter and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

What kind of gluten free bread should I use?
I like Canyon Bakehouse and Little Northern Bakehouse. If you are near a Trader Joe’s, their gluten free bread is amazing.
Incredible gluten free stuffing and very easy to make. If you are already at Trader Joe’s for their bread I highly recommend adding a pouch of the Citterio cubed uncured pancetta to the recipe just after you sauté the vegetables.
That sounds great, Matthew! Thanks so much for the review!
