This stuffing is always a huge hit on Thanksgiving! I always make sure to have enough to stuff the turkey and have extra for a casserole dish. That gives you two separate dishes that have two different tastes (the one that is used to stuff the bird absorbs the wonderful juices of the turkey), and of course this ensures extra for the day after. Because who doesn’t LOVE Thanksgiving leftovers!?
