Sweet Potato And Roasted Mushroom Stuffing

One of two stuffings (see also the "Apple and Sausage Stuffing") developed by Barbara Shinn and David Page of Home restaurant in New York. This dish features large cubes of French bread and a custardy texture. To ensure a crisply browned top, the stuffing should be baked separately from the turkey.
