Stuffing with Mushrooms, Leeks and Bacon
Discord swarms around the issue of stuffing. Should it be cooked in the bird or baked alongside, as dressing? White or corn bread? Firm enough to slice or soft as pudding? Call this recipe the peacemaker, because it’s adaptable enough to make everyone happy. You can use white or corn bread (and gluten-free corn bread works perfectly). The mushrooms allow vegetarians to nix the bacon without sacrificing all the flavor. We advocate baking it separately (which technically makes it dressing), but if you want to stuff the turkey, you can do that, too.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, more as needed for greasing pan
  • 1½ pounds sliced white bread or corn bread
  • ½ pound thick-cut bacon
  • 2 large leeks, trimmed and sliced (3 cups)
  • 1½ pounds mixed mushrooms, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sage
  • ½ cup dry white wine AND ¼ cup apple cider, if using white bread | OR ¾ cup hard cider
  • 1¼ cups chicken stock, more as needed
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
