Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the vegetable mixture from the skillet. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
6. Gradually pour in the turkey or chicken broth, stirring continuously, until the bread is moistened. The amount of broth needed may vary.
7. Stir in the beaten eggs until they are well incorporated into the stuffing mixture.
8. Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased baking dish. Cover the dish with foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving.
