Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 425°F.
For the stuffing crust, if using fresh bread, bake the bread cubes at 250°F for 30 minutes until firm. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté minced onion, celery, parsley, sage, seasoning, salt, and pepper until soft, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove stuffing vegetables from heat and mix with toasted bread cubes. Whisk egg and 1.5 cups chicken broth, add to stuffing and combine well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots, parsley, thyme, and sage, cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped celery and cook until vegetables are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add frozen mixed vegetables, diced turkey, 2 cups turkey broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, then simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whisk cornstarch into 1 cup turkey broth until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the turkey filling and cook over medium-low heat until thickened, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the turkey filling. Bake 30 to 45 minutes until the stuffing crust is golden and the filling is hot and bubbling.
Notes
This dish is perfect for using leftover turkey and makes a hearty, comforting meal. Serve with a simple green salad for a balanced dinner.
