1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp fresh sage, chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread cubed stale bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and celery; cook until softened (5-7 minutes), then stir in garlic for the last minute.
In a large bowl, combine toasted bread cubes and sautéed vegetables. Mix in herbs, salt, and pepper. Gradually add chicken broth until moist but not soggy.
Transfer to a greased baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to crisp the top.
Allow cooling slightly before serving alongside turkey.
