I just did a search for the same answer, but decided to try something on my own. I realized that I added too much salty bouillon after I tasted it. So I added some bread that I moistened in water, and it worked great! Problem solved, stuffing is now in the oven! I hope this helps someone else in the same boat! Happy Holidays!

Thank you, I'm going to try it. I have too many ingredients invested to throw it away and start from scratch!

Try adding some grain + water, other vegetables (especially root vegetables), some sort of milk (dairy, coconut, et al)...

Have you baked it yet? If not, you're in great shape: Just add more bread cubes, toss together, and proceed like you would. Even if you have baked it, there's still hope! Tuck extra cubes tossed in unsalted stock into the dish and stick back into the oven. (The idea is you want to balance the too-salty with the bland.)
