Description

This vibrant Lemon Parsley Stuffing is a delightful departure from traditional dry bread mixes. Infused with the bright acidity of fresh lemon juice and zest, along with aromatic dried marjoram and thyme, it offers a refreshing twist on a holiday classic. The combination of melted butter and beaten eggs ensures a tender, cohesive texture that holds together perfectly whether baked in a casserole or stuffed inside poultry. Ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or as a savory side dish for Sunday roast, this recipe balances savory herbs with citrus brightness. Its comforting yet light, making it a crowd-pleaser that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or stands alone as a vegetarian main course.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F (165C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, snipped parsley, shredded lemon peel, dried marjoram, dried thyme, black pepper, and minced garlic.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs, melted butter, water, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the bread crumb mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
  6. If stuffing a turkey, loosely fill the cavity. If baking as a casserole, spoon the mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.
  7. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the stuffing is hot throughout and the top is lightly golden.
