- 3 cups chopped red bell pepper
- 3 cups chopped green onions (about 2 bunches)
- 1 cup chopped shallots (about 8)

- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried

Spoon remaining stuffing into buttered baking dish. Cover tightly with buttered
aluminum foil. Bake stuffing in dish alongside turkey until heated through,
about 30 minutes.Uncover stuffing and bake until top begins to brown, about 15
minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Mix 1 1/2 cups chicken
broth into stuffing. Transfer stuffing to prepared baking dish. Cover tightly
with buttered aluminum foil. Bake until stuffing is firm and heated through,
about 45 minutes. Uncover stuffing and bake until just beginning to brown to
