INGREDIENTS

Vegetables

  • 2½ cups diced onion about 1 large onion
  • 2½ cups diced celery
  • ½ cup chopped curly leaf parsley

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Other Ingredients

  • 3 sticks unsalted butter or 1½ cups
  • 15 cups gluten-free croutons unseasoned
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 eggs, beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter on medium-high heat. 
  • Add the onions, celery, and parsley, then sauté until partially softened (about 10 minutes).
  • Stir in the seasonings.
  • Add the breadcrumbs (½ at a time), then quickly toss to coat with the butter mixture.
  • Add the beaten eggs and quickly toss before they cook.
  • Add the chicken broth and toss again to evenly distribute. Make sure all of the ingredients are well combined.  
    Tip: Do not over-mix as this can break up the bread cubes.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Place the lid on and set the timer for 4 hours on low heat setting.  Gently stir after 1 hour and again after another 2 hours.  This will ensure the moisture from the chicken broth remains evenly distributed.
    Note: The stuffing can be left in the slow cooker using the "stay warm" setting for up to 4 hours before serving.

NOTES

  • If you prefer drier stuffing, you can raise the slow cooker's temperature to medium or high during the last hour of cooking.
  • Leftover stuffing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.  Reheat in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
