Servings: persons

1 1-lb. crusty loaf of light rye bread, at least 1 day old
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
2 cups chopped onion (1 large)
1 cup chopped celery (2 or 3 stalks)
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 cup chopped fresh dill, plus 2 tbsp. dill sprigs
8 ounces diced smoked pork chops
About 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
About 1/2 tsp. pepper
About 3 cups turkey broth, reduced-sodium chicken broth, or mushroom or other vegetable broth

1
Slice bread into 1 1/2-in.-thick slices and tear into irregular 1- to 2-in. pieces. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and leave to dry at room temperature until needed (up to 2 days). For the best stuffing, the bread should be very dry.
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour out 2 tbsp. butter and set aside.
3
Add onion, celery, chopped herbs, pork chops, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper to hot pan. Cook until onions are translucent and celery is tender-crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
4
Add torn bread and broth to vegetables and mix in until bread is soaked. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
5
Generously coat a 9- by 13-in. glass baking pan with 1 tsp. reserved melted butter. Pour stuffing into pan and drizzle with remaining melted butter.
6
Cover with foil; bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until starting to brown on top, about 30 minutes more. Top with dill sprigs before serving.
7
Make ahead: Up to 2 days, chilled. Reheat at 350u00b0, covered, until hot (about 30 minutes). Remove foil and cook 10 more minutes for a crunchy top layer.
