Directions: |
Directions:Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, onions, and shallots, stirring to combine. Sprinkle with ¾ teaspoon of the salt and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften. Add the cremini and shiitake mushrooms and the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the mushrooms start to lose their raw look but are not yet cooked through. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add ¾ cup of the cheese, then the bread cubes, then the sun-dried tomatoes. (At this point, if making ahead do not add the chicken broth; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Add the chicken broth, tarragon, and thyme, tossing to mix well.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Transfer the stuffing to a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake for about 1 hour; during the last 15 minutes of baking time, sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup of cheese. If the stuffing gets too brown, cover loosely with foil. Serve warm. |

Notes: Although any good, dense loaf of bread will do, the savory and briny flavor of olive bread works best as a match for the mushrooms and an accompanying turkey.
