I bet if I ran a poll here about what your favorite dish on Thanksgiving is, stuffing would win every time. In my house, I have to make extra vegan stuffing to have for leftovers and it is always the first thing to be finished.
I use fresh baguette’s for the bread and toast them in the oven. I never have enough stale bread to make the portion I need so I buy fresh and toast. You could use any kind of bread you want for this recipe. In the past, I have used cranberry walnut bread mixed with white bread and everyone loved it. What I’m saying is… don’t worry too much about what kind of bread you have. If it tastes good fresh, you’ll probably like it in the stuffing.
The chopped up portobello mushrooms replace the sausage in a traditional non-vegan stuffing, but could easily be left out if you do not like mushrooms. The apples give a touch of sweetness to the vegan stuffing and the herbs freshen everything up. I used earth balance soy butter on top of the vegan stuffing to give it a nice crispy browned texture, but you could use olive oil if you prefer. Hope you enjoy it and don’t forget those fresh herbs!
