Onion lovers, this one is for you! We loaded this much-loved recipe with a mixture red and green onions, as well as shallots. Roasting the onions and adding hearty dashes of poultry seasoning and a hint of celery salt give the stuffing a fuller taste.

Ingredients

  • 675-g loaf white sandwich or sourdough bread

  • 6 large shallots

  • 1 large onion

  • 2 unpeeled garlic cloves

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • pinch salt

  • pinch ground black pepper

  • 4 green onions

  • 2 stalks celery

  • 1 apple

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp poultry seasoning

  • 2 tsp celery salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Leave crusts on bread, if you wish. Slice bread into small cubes no larger than 1/2 in. (1 cm). They should measure 12 to 14 cups (3 to 3.5 L). Spread out on 2 large baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 15 min.

  • Meanwhile, coarsely chop shallots and red onion. Place in a medium-size bowl. Add garlic. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well.

  • Once bread is toasted, turn into a very large bowl or 2 bowls. Increase temperature to 400F (200C). Spread shallots, onion and garlic on one of the warm baking sheets. Roast in centre of oven until soft and fragrant, 20 to 25 min.

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions. Chop celery. Peel apple only if you wish. Cut into quarters, slice out and discard core, then coarsely chop. Melt butter.

  • When onions are done, remove garlic from pan. Discard skins. Then, using a fork, mash garlic. Add cooked onions, garlic, green onions, celery and apple to bread. Drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning and celery salt. Mix well.

  • Reduce temperature to 350F (180C). Transfer stuffing to a 9 × 13-in. baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake in bottom third of oven for 15 min. Remove foil and stir. Continue baking, uncovered, until hot, about 15 more min.
