Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Pound (lb) fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 3 Stalks celery, diced
• 2 Whole onions, minced
• 20 Ounces (oz) loaf French bread, divided into 1-inch cubes
• 16 Ounces (oz) package herb-seasoned stuffing mix
• 4 Large eggs, whisked
• 28 Ounces (oz) chicken broth
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) sage, ground
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) thyme, ground
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms, celery, and onions until softened.
2. Dampen the French bread cubes with water, then squeeze out any excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom mixture, bread cubes, stuffing mix, whisked eggs, and 1 can of chicken broth. Season with sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the stuffing reaches a paste-like consistency. Add more chicken broth if necessary.
4. Loosely pack the stuffing inside the turkey cavity before roasting, or bake separately in a covered dish for a moist stuffing. Remove the cover for the last 20 minutes to crisp the top.
