At first glance this a seemingly classic mushroom stuffing. We changed things up by using rendered chicken fat to cook the onions and mushrooms, and to bake the stuffing. The rich flavor of the chicken fat provides a decadent twist and tastes as if you’ve cooked the stuffing with your turkey or chicken.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 10 tablespoons chicken fat in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and sage; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons chicken fat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned at the edges and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir the mushrooms into the onions, then add the chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Whisk together the eggs and 1/2 cup parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and vegetable-broth mixture; toss to combine. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and dot with the butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 more minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.
