In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add celery and onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add mushrooms and garlic and continue to sauté until mushrooms are cooked.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 3 cups diced celery, 3 cups chopped onion, salt & pepper to taste, 12-14 ounces finely chopped fresh mushrooms, 2 cloves garlic, minced
Remove from heat, add butter and let the butter melt, stirring as needed. Stir in herbs, black pepper and chicken broth.
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces, 1 sprig rosemary leaves, finely chopped, 1 ½ tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon dried marjoram, 7 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 4 cups reduced sodium chicken stock
In a large bowl, beat the two eggs. Add cubed stuffing and pour the vegetables and broth over the stuffing. Stir to combine and put into a 7-quart slow cooker that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
2 large eggs, 1 ½ bags (12 oz. each) herb seasoned cubed stuffing
Cook on High for 1 hour, and then reduce heat and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours. If your dinner isn't ready yet, set your crockpot to Warm.

Vegetarian: Simply substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock.
Meat-lovers: If desired, omit the mushrooms. Brown sausage or bacon to add to the stuffing. I love to add cooked and chopped turkey giblets and neck meat, too. Remove them from the cavity of the turkey and simmer in a small saucepan until they're tender. Chop finely.
More Add-Ins: Try chopped apple, dried cranberries, raisins, or chestnuts.
Storage Tips: Put stuffing into a covered container. Leftover stuffing will keep three to four days in the refrigerator or up to three months in the freezer.
