For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. If you prefer a softer stuffing, add an extra 1/2 cup of broth. To add more texture, consider adding toasted nuts such as pecans or walnuts. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added to enhance the flavor profile. This stuffing can be prepared a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
