Yield: 12 servings

2 1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
1 1/4 cups chopped celery (include the leaves)
2 1/2 cups no-added-salt chicken broth
5 cups dried herb-seasoned bread stuffing mix (about 10 ounces)
 
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Coat a 4-quart pot with cooking spray and add the mushrooms, onion, and celery. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add a little water or broth if the pot becomes too dry, but only enough to prevent scorching.

3. Add the broth to the vegetable mixture, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Add the stuffing to the pot while tossing gently, until the stuffing is moistened throughout. Add a little more broth if the mixture seems too dry.

4. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray, and spoon the stuffing lightly into the dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, and let sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
