Stuffing Ingredients

  • 10 cups sourdough bread, cubed and lightly toasted
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, dried cranberries, and pecans.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth, eggs, sage, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture and gently toss to combine until the bread is evenly moistened.
  • Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Adjust the amount of broth based on the dryness of the bread for the perfect consistency.
