In California, you might find a stuffing like this one, featuring local sourdough bread and sunny Mediterranean flavors. Double the recipe for birds above 16 pounds. Recipe from Rick Rodgers' 50 Best Stuffings and Dressings.
* Start to finish: 15 minutes. Makes 8 cups.
* What you'll need:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
10-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 pound crusty sourdough or other country-style bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and dried overnight (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry vermouth or white wine
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 to 1 cup turkey or chicken broth, as needed
Salt, to taste
* How to do it:
In a large skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add the onion and saute until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes, then cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the vegetables and any liquid in the skillet to a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, basil, Parmesan cheese and pepper flakes. Gradually stir in the wine, eggs and 1/2 cup of the broth. Season with salt.
The stuffing can be added to a turkey and roasted, or placed in a buttered baking dish, drizzled with an additional 1/2 cup of broth, then covered and baked until heated through.
