Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups of cooked turkey diced or shredded.
  • 6 cups of herb-seasoned stuffing cubes.
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter 1 stick.
  • 1 cup of chopped yellow onion.
  • 1 cup of chopped celery stalks.
  • 2 cups of chicken or turkey broth.
  • 1 can 10 ounces of cream of mushroom soup.
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream or milk.
  • 1 teaspoon of dried sage or thyme.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the bread from sticking to the bottom.

Sauté the Veggies

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the chopped onions and celery to the pan. Cook them until they are soft and very clear.

Mix the Liquids

  • In a large bowl, whisk the broth and soup. Add the heavy cream and the dried herbs. Stir in the salt and the black pepper well.

Add the Turkey

  • Put the diced turkey into the large mixing bowl. Toss it with the creamy soup mixture until coated. The turkey should stay moist during the bake.

Add the Stuffing

  • Fold in four cups of the stuffing cubes gently. Make sure the bread soaks up some of the liquid. The mix should look thick and very wet.

Fill the Dish

  • Pour the turkey mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with your wooden spoon. Do not press it down too hard.

Add the Topping

  • Sprinkle the remaining two cups of stuffing on top. You can drizzle a little melted butter over them. This makes the top very crunchy and golden.

Bake the Casserole

  • Put the dish in the oven for 30 minutes. The edges should be bubbly and the top brown. Serve it hot to your hungry family!

Notes

  • Use leftovers: This recipe is perfect for leftover holiday turkey.
  • Don't overmix: Keep the stuffing cubes whole for better texture.
  • Extra broth: Add more broth if the mix looks dry.
  • Fresh herbs: Use fresh sage if you have some handy.
  • Crunchy top: Broil for one minute to get extra crunch.
  • Add cranberries: Toss in dried cranberries for a sweet touch.
  • Small dice: Cut the celery small so it cooks fast.
  • Let it sit: Wait five minutes before scooping it out.
