Simple & Light Apple Celery Stuffing for Thanksgiving and Christmas

November 22, 2020 By Victoria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It isn’t a complete Thanksgiving feast without a casserole dish of stuffing alongside the inviting deliciously golden roast turkey. Try this inspiration over the traditional stuffing with Apple, Celery, and Parsley.

Apple Celery Stuffing Recipe

Stuffing is really easy to cook up and can be prepared in the short amount of time you’re waiting on the turkey to be baked. I usually place our stuffing ingredients into a casserole dish and bake it uncovered when the turkey finished roasting and resting. That way, they both can be served at the same time in their best conditions.

Since this year, our turkey is rubbed with sage, rosemary, and thyme, I tried to put parsley as the main and only herb in stuffing, just to complete the heirloom four. The flavor turned out to be on the lighter side, yet still savory and having the sweet scent from apple. It is perfectly fitted on our Thanksgiving table for sure.

For the bread, you can really use any type; since I have some baguette leftover from the large batch of french-fried onion in our Green bean casserole, I decided to mix it with some cornbread stuffing. It has a thin crispy layer at the top and some moist, tender bread soaked with chicken broth after baking without covering.

Remember the mushroom stem that you pluck out when preparing green bean casserole? I chopped those up along with some whole mushroom into larger chunks to make a cup. Now, if you don’t have those leftovers or start this stuffing from scratch, you may need about 6-8oz of mushroom.

The recipe did not call for any salt or seasoning since most chicken broth alone should be salty enough when condensing down. You could always add some, but be careful to not over board.
