Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing - When Pigs Fly Savory Cranberry

Using When Pigs Fly Savory Cranberry Bread in your Thanksgiving turkey stuffing is a delicious way to mix things up this holiday season! Here's a recipe for a stuffing that incorporates this unique bread:

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of When Pigs Fly Savory Cranberry Bread, cubed
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 2 to 3 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spread the cubed When Pigs Fly Savory Cranberry Bread on a baking sheet and toast it in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread cubes are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until they become soft and translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the herbs are fragrant.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans (if using).
6. Gradually pour the chicken or turkey broth over the mixture, stirring gently to moisten the bread. Add enough broth to achieve your desired stuffing consistency.
7. Once the stuffing is well-moistened, add the beaten eggs and mix until everything is evenly combined.
8. Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is cooked through.
10. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
