Preparation
Step 1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, fennel, apples, cranberries, sage and thyme and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add turkey or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Beat egg with parsley in a large bowl. Add cubed bread. Pour vegetable-broth mixture in bowl and toss.

Here are some tips for converting any stuffing recipe for the slow cooker:
If it does not contain eggs, add 1 1/2 large eggs per loaf of bread used.
Cut back on liquid by 25%.
Cook on low heat for four to six hours.
