Notes
Substitute vegetable broth for the wine if you prefer.Want to make this ahead of time? Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Then bring to room temperature by placing on the counter for a few hours. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish and heat thoroughly in a 325F oven for about 25-30 minutes.This makes about 4-5 cups of stuffing which would go well with a 8-10lb turkey. Double this recipe to make stuffing that pairs with a 12-14lb turkey.
