Let your slow cooker help you with the holidays this year. Here’s a luxurious stuffing (aka dressing) recipe, ideal for turkey or ham, and stocked with plenty of vegetables and enough sage and cranberries to make the pilgrims jealous. Paper towels layered over, but not on, the top of the ingredients, catch drips that condense on the lid and absorb excess moisture that can fall down on the top of the stuffing and turn it soggy. Don’t remove the crusts from the bread: they give the dressing more texture and flavor after long-cooking.The dish can stay on the keep-warm setting for 30 minutes before serving.
