Ingredients

    1 large loaf day-old sourdough or country-style bread (about 24 oz), cut into ¾” cubes (you can leave the crust on if you like)
    ¼ cup butter
    2 leeks, thinly sliced
    3 large celery stalks, with leaves, diced
    5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped (do not use garlic powder as it will scorch)
    ¾ cup packed dried cranberries
    ½ cup diced dried apricots
    1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
    1 tbsp poultry seasoning
    1 tsp rosemary
    2 tsp thyme

    2 ½ cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
