Ingredients
Unsalted butter
1 tbsp(s)
Butternut squash
2 cup(s), diced
Onion
1½ cup(s)
Celery
1 cup(s), thinly sliced
Sourdough bread
10 oz, cut into 1-inch pieces
Dried cranberries
½ cup(s), chopped
Fresh sage
1 tbsp(s), leaves, minced
Rosemary
1 tsp(s), fresh, chopped
Table salt
½ tsp(s)
Black pepper
½ tsp(s), freshly ground
Fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth
1¼ cup(s)
Raw egg
2 large, at room temperature
Cooking spray
2 spray(s)
Instructions
1
Melt butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add squash, onion and celery; cook, stirring often, until onion softens, 5 minutes.
2
Scrape vegetable mixture into a large bowl; add bread, cranberries, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper and stir well.
3
Whisk broth and eggs in a small bowl until smooth; pour over bread mixture and toss well until liquid has been absorbed.
4
Lightly coat insides of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray; add bread mixture in an even layer. Lay paper towels across top of slow cooker so they hang over edges, completely covering stuffing but not touching ingredients below; cover and cook on low until set, 4 ½ hours.
