This delicious yet budget-friendly dish comes to $1.15 per serving. Look for a poultry herb blend in the produce section--one package contains all the herbs you need. Slice leeks and swirl them around in a big bowl of water to wash.

My husband and I hosted our first Thanksgiving in 2012, a few days after I received my issue with this recipe. I decided to make it my most daring dish, and went for it. I was worried and had a boxed stuffing just in case, but I didn't need it. It was a hit among everyone, even my mother-in-law who hates mushrooms! Everyone kept asking me for the recipe! Even my son, then nine-month old son couldn't get enough. My only regret was that my grandmother died three days later and never got to try the leftovers. It will be my new go to stuffing recipe for all time. I loved it. MUST TRY!

I made this for Christmas dinner, it was excellent. I used baby bella mushrooms and they worked great.

We made this for Thanksgiving with no changes to the recipe. I did make it earlier in the day, and was able to refrigerate until I was ready to bake it. It was so delicious, and none of my guests missed the butter or sausage that is usually in the stuffing I serve, amazing!
