Ingredients:
6 cups bite-size pieces of day-old white bread, homemade style (I use a baguette of French bread from the bakery)
2 yellow onions, chopped coarsely
4 ribs of celery, chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh savory
1 stick unsalted butter
1 pound fresh chestnuts
shelled and peeled and chopped coarsely
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and arrange the bread on one layer on a shallow baking pan. Bake in the oven, stirring from time to time, for about ten minutes. The bread should be golden brown. Transfer the bread to a large bowl.
Cook the onions, celery, sage, thyme, rosemary, and savory in the unsalted butter over medium low using a large skillet. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the chestnuts to the veggies, and continue to cook and stir for two to three minutes. Add the vegetable mixture to the bread, tossing to mix well. Add the fresh parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Let the stuffing cool completely before putting it in the turkey. NEVER stuff the turkey the night before its cooked.
