Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.Wash and dry all produce. Start dressing once turkey is in the oven! Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces. Arrange ciabatta on an unlined baking sheet. Toast in the top of the oven, flipping once, until lightly toasted, 6-8 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on ciabatta so they don't burn!)
Meanwhile, lightly grease a 8x8-inch baking dish with 1 tsp oil. Cut celery into 1/4-inch pieces. Finely chop half the parsley. (NOTE: This will be your parsley for all recipes.)Whisk together broth concentrates and 1 1/4 cups water in a large bowl.
Heat a large-non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 3 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted, 30 sec. Add celery, onions and leeks to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until veggies slightly soften, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from heat.
Add toasted ciabatta, veggies, 1 tbsp sage, 1 tbsp parsley, 1/2 tbsp thyme, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper to the bowl with broth. Toss until thoroughly combined .Firmly press dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the middle of the oven, next to turkey, until set, 30-35 min. Uncover and continue to cook until top is golden-brown, 15-17 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on the dressing so it doesn’t over-brown!)
Serve dressing in the baking dish at room temperature.
