Transfer to a large bowl.In a large skillet over medium heat, heat half of olive oil. Add mushrooms and chopped garlic and saute until tender and lightly browned, roughly 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread cubes.. In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add remaining vegetables and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Transfer to bread bowl. Add all remaining ingredients to bowl with bread cubes and mix to combine well. Stuffing should be moist and not be soggy or dry. If dry add more chicken broth. If stuffing a turkey, allow stuffing to completely cool beforehand. If baking stuffing, bake at 400F in an lightly oiled baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes with foil, remove foil and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes until stuffing is lightly browned.
Healthy Fact: One portobello mushrooms has more potassium than one banana.
