- Prep time: Start the recipe by preheating your oven temperature to 350, spraying your baking dish, and slicing all the vegetables.

VARIATIONS ON MUSHROOM STUFFING
- Bread mixture: Instead of using a store-bought bread stuffing mix, you can make your own cubed bread. Make the bread crumbs out of sourdough bread, french bread, white bread, focaccia, or any other you like. Break the bread of your choice into 1-inch cubes. Prep a rimmed baking dish with cooking spray and toast the bread cubes in the oven to dry them out.
- Mushrooms: Instead of regular white mushrooms you could use wild mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or porcini mushrooms in the recipe. If you want wild mushroom stuffing, you can usually purchase good wild mushrooms at local grocery store chains or farmer’s markets.
- Vegan: To make this recipe for vegan diets you’ll need an egg replacement, butter replacement, and broth replacement. For an egg replacement, try using flax eggs. Other than flax eggs you can use mashed avocado or banana. You can use vegetable broth or low sodium vegetable broth to replace the chicken broth. Finally, to make the recipe for vegan diets, you’ll still have to replace the butter. Coconut oil, avocado, or applesauce make good butter replacements.
- Liquid ingredients: You can add different liquid ingredients to the chicken broth like white wine, apple juice, or balsamic vinegar to give an extra tang to the stuffing mix.
- Seasonings: Try adding fresh herbs like fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and sage leaves instead of the dried version in the recipe. You could also mix in freshly ground garlic cloves, fresh oregano, or fresh chives.
- Add-ins: For some extra flavorful ingredients to bake with the mushrooms try chopping up some butternut squash and sweet potatoes. You could also top the dish off with baked bacon strips, grated parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, or sea salt over the mushroom mixture.
