Ingredients
  • 1 day-old loaf whole wheat baguette, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4¼ cups homemade vegetable stock
  • 1 cup celery, medium dice
  • 1 cup white onion, medium dice
  • 1 clove garlic, mince
  • 2 small Granny Smith apples, medium dice
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 healthy pinch of ground cinnamon Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic and leeks. Stir occasionally. Season with salt.
  2. When onions are translucent and celery is tender, add the apples, chestnuts, thyme, sage and cinnamon and check the seasoning. Sauté for 5 more minutes; stir to incorporate all of the ingredients.
  3. Add the toasted bread to the skillet and add vegetable stock, until bread is completely moistened. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir to combine so that flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Let cook about 20 minutes more, stirring and adding stock as needed every 5 minutes. Put stuffing inside of the turkey or serve in a large bowl.
  5. NOTE: If you can't purchase your bread in advance you can cut it into cubes and toast them on a rimmed baking sheet in a 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes. They should be crunchy, like croutons, but not browned.
