Ingredients

Challah bread

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups chopped onions, leeks or scallions

2 cups diced celery

1 tablespoon minced fresh sage

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth

1/2 cup wild rice

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 1/4 pounds mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in butter

1 cup raisins

Directions

  1. Chop the challah bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups. Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the wild rice as the label directs. Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared rice and the mushrooms. Stir in the raisins.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

Major foodie here... Best Stuffing I've ever had.  I've made it the last 3 Thanksgivings in a row and it was received with great praise by all.  I don't cook it in the bird.  I form it into balls about twice the size of a golf ball and bake them on a cookie sheet for slightly less time so it doesn't dry out. Since there is more surface space they cook quicker.  Then serve it in a pyramid of stuffing balls.  It makes a lovely presentation.   <br />
