Ingredients
- 1 pound loaf bread diced into 1/2-inch cubes and dried
- 1 large sweet onion diced small
- 4 sticks celery diced small
- 2 sweet peppers diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- 8 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves picked
- 6 sprigs fresh rosemary minced
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the cubed bread on the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until dry. Once the bread is done baking, transfer it to a baking dish. Increase the oven temperature to 350F.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, celery, and pepper for 6-8 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer; transfer the veggies over the bread into the baking dish.
- Add in the cranberries, fresh herbs, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper; toss to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and broth until combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and give it a final toss.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for 30-40 minutes more, or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes
- Leftovers: If you have any leftover stuffing, simply store it in an airtight container (or several) in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave and enjoy!
- Freezing: To freeze for later, let the stuffing cool completely, transfer portions of it to freezer-friendly containers and place it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven until it’s warmed through or in the microwave.
