Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Clean the turkey thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush the turkey with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper.
4. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, chicken broth, parsley, sage, and thyme. Mix well until the bread cubes are evenly coated.
6. Stuff the turkey cavity loosely with the prepared stuffing mixture. Do not overstuff, as the stuffing will expand during cooking.
7. Place the remaining stuffing in a baking dish and cover with foil.
8. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
9. Bake the extra stuffing in the oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
10. Once cooked, let the turkey rest for about 20 minutes before carving. Serve with the extra stuffing on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make the stuffing ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stuffing mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. However, it is recommended to stuff the turkey just before roasting to prevent any bacterial growth.

2. Can I use different types of bread for the stuffing?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different types of bread, such as cornbread, whole wheat, or sourdough, to add different flavors and textures to your stuffing.

3. How long should I cook the turkey if it’s not stuffed?
If you choose not to stuff the turkey, it will cook faster. As a general rule, estimate about 13-15 minutes of cooking time per pound at 325°F (165°C). However, always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
