Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked turkey
• 6 cups stuffing mix
• 1.5 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, cooked onion and celery, dried sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of broth to the stuffing mix and toss to moisten. If the mixture is still too dry, gradually add more broth, 1/4 cup at a time, until it holds together but is not soggy.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the cooked turkey evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the sour cream and soup mixture evenly over the turkey, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.

Step 7

Top the turkey and sauce layer with the prepared stuffing mixture, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top for added richness.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the aluminum foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 11

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and comforting Turkey and Stuffing Bake!
