Ingredients

  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • 2 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • 8 cup dry bread cubes, from a hearty loaf

  • 2 tablespoon bourbon

  • ¾ - 1 cup turkey or chicken broth

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a small skillet, cook celery and onion in hot butter until tender. Stir in pecans and thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place bread cubes and vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with bourbon and enough broth to moisten, tossing to combine. Place in a 2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 50 to 55 minutes or until bread on top begins to crisp.

Tips

To make dry bread cubes, cut fresh bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread cubes in a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 300°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until cubes are dry, stirring twice; cool.
