Stuffing from a box has its charms, but this rustic sage stuffing recipe has so much more—crusty bread, seasonal vegetables, layers of aromatic sage, and of course, lots of butter. For years, I’ve started this dish in a large pan on the stovetop (always while singing “Got to be Startin’ Stuffing”) and slowly added ingredients before transferring it to the oven. Making it in the Anova Precision Oven yields the same great stuffing, but with a more even cook and a lot less time and effort. Note: You can make this dish ahead of time, cover, and chill. Reheat at 300ºF (149ºC) with 30% steam for 8 to 10 minutes.
