    This sounds great--I am vegetarian, though, and wondering if you think vegetable broth would be a good replacement for the chicken stock.

      Sure, using your own dried breadcrumbs in place of store bought should work just fine too.

    Can I "cook until softened" a day ahead and then mix with the stuffing mix and broth the day of?

      You can totally stuff your bird with this stuffing. We actually like it baked in the oven better! So many options. Do what works best for you.
