Few side dishes are more classic at Thanksgiving than bread stuffing. And few holidays put more use to your oven! Since Thanksgiving can be hectic enough, our stuffing recipe allows you to prepare the stuffing up to two days in advance and only have to bake it in the oven on the day it is to be served. Since it can be difficult to safely cook stuffing inside of a turkey, we cook it outside of the bird, in a baking dish. Covering the stuffing with foil during cooking steams it, mimicking the moist cooking conditions inside a turkey. For a crisp crust and toasty flavor, we remove the foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Learn all the tricks to our classic stuffing in this online cooking class.
