Chestnut-Apple-Cherry Stuffing

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter plus more for the baking dish
• 4 stalks celery chopped
• 2 leeks halved and thinly sliced
• 2 gala apples cut into 1/2" cubes
• 12 ounces chestnuts peeled, cooked, crumbled, about 1 1/2 cups
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• kosher salt
• 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• 16 cups brioche stale, cubes

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the celery, leeks, apples, chestnuts, thyme, sage, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Whisk the eggs and 3 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, dried cherries and the vegetable mixture; stir to combine. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes and dot over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
