Ingredients

1-pound loaf sourdough bread
8 tablespoons butter
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/2-inch thick in both directions
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 4 stalks celery with leaves, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
About 10 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped from the stems
10 to 12 fresh sage leaves, chopped
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

Cut or tear the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread it evenly on 2 baking sheets. Toast the bread in the oven until completely dry and beginning to crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a few pinches of salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add celery, onion, 2 tablespoons butter, and thyme. Once the butter has melted, cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add sage and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add chicken broth to skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl. Pour the chicken broth mixture over the bread cubes and toss to combine until the bread cubes absorb the liquid. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, and sprinkle with parsley. Bake in the center of the oven until heated through and the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove the stuffing from the oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes before serving.

Fantastic stuffing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for a homemade stuffing recipe last Thanksgiving (I usually just add to a prepared mix) and this one was so... good! It's easy and the flavors come together beautifully. Read more

Excellent stuffing recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a terrific recipe for stuffing for a turkey (or chicken). It's baked outside (not inside) of the bird, so no worries... about undercooked stuffing or an overcooked bird. Absolutely delicious - just make sure you use high quality ingredients and you can't go wrong with this one.Read more

EXCELLENT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best dressing I have ever made! I was nervous about trying a new recipe for Thanksgiving, so I made my original... as well as this recipe. My family LOVED this recipe and said that I should make it again next year! I followed the recipe except that I couldn't find the fresh Thyme and Sage so I substituted for 1/2 tsp dry and I used canned mushrooms vs. fresh. VERY GOOD!Read more

Delicious!

I made this using garlic focaccia instead of the sourdough and it was soooooo good!! all of my guests loved it. I didn't have... low sodium broth so I used regular broth and went easy on salting the veggies. definite keeper!Read more

After trying different stuffing/dressing recipes over the years, I have finallly found one that both my husband and I enjoy!... This is moist in the middle and the sourdough adds a delicious tang. Love the combination of flavors. Definitely keeping this one for next year!Read more
