  2. In a large sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the leek, celery, and fennel, cooking until soft. Add garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.

  4. Lightly spray the slow cooker. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly, cover, and cook on high for 30 minutes before lowering to low for 1 to 2 hours.
  5. Check the consistency and add more vegetable stock if it’s too dry. Serve warm alongside Thanksgiving dishes.
