Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Whole Wheat Or French Bread, Cubed And Toasted (About 8 Cup Breadcrumbs)
  • 1/2 whole Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 3 stalks Celery
  • 2 whole Carrots
  • 8 ounces, weight White Mushrooms
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 6 sprigs Fresh Parsley, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Basil
  • 2 teaspoons Thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Sage
  • 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper To Taste
  • 1/2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1-1/2 cup Turkey Broth

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
  • Mince the onion, garlic, and celery. Grate the carrots with a cheese grater. Chop the stems off the mushrooms and slice them thinly.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and saute the vegetables until the onions are transparent and the mushrooms are cooked.
  • In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, vegetables, and spices. Add the butter (the heat of the vegetables will melt it) stir until combined. Continue stirring and add the broth, a bit at a time, until the breadcrumbs are well moistened but not saturated.
  • Oil or butter a 9x13 inch pan and pour in the stuffing. Cover the pan and cook at 350 degrees (F) for 30 minutes. If you prefer a slightly crunchier stuffing, you can uncover the pan for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
