I made this for thanksgiving yesterday and I loved this stuffing. The best stuffing I've ever had. I did tweak the recipe a bite but not much. Because I like my stuffing moist I added 14 oz of stock instead of 1 cup. I didn?t change anything else. I will try this recipe next year again its definitely a crowd pleaser. But I'll leave out the heart and gizzard. My sister (picky eater saw me put it in and refused to try it. I'm sure it will still be good without them.

I watched this episode when the show aired on Nov 15. Couldn't wait to try this recipe for the stuffing. I don't like stuffing at all, but this was really delicious. I prepared a turkey breast and legs for my companion and I last Sat evening and for the first time in ten years, he ate my stuffing. and for the first time in sixty years I ate stuffing. When referring to the recipe on the web site, I could not believe how different the recipe was. Giblets and heart in the stuffing?? I always thought that was cooked and given to the cats. Glad I watched the show....try it folks.....

I completely agree with the other posters. This recipe is completely different than what Alex did on her show. I'm so thankful for my DVR, I was able to transpose the recipe myself. And although I have not made it yet, it looks great and cannot wait to serve it this Thanksgiving (no thanks to FN.com.

The demonstration on television of how to make this stuffing and prepare the turkey was awesome. However, your printed recipe for this dish no where resembles what the chef did. There is no information in your recipe about cooking the turkey at 400 degrees for designated period of time to brown it and then reducing the temperature to 350 and continuing. In the show there was no use of hearts and giblet in the dressing. If you review the show, you will see that your recipe does not mirror what she did. I beleive in order to accomplish what she did, the recipe must follow her steps sequentially.

My rating is for how poorly the recipe was written. I will follow the video to make the dish because I think it is a great dish.

what could be better than having this suffing on the table on thanksgiving day and the day after (hopefully. I can just smell it now, my mouth is watering. 11 days until thanksgiving and with a recipe like this, makes all the wait worth it.

I watched this episode today and thought the stuffing looked very good. But the recipe Food Network gives us is not even close to what Alex prepared. She cooked the pepperoni first, for a short amount of time, in a little butter to render some of the fat. Remove the pepperoni, then saute the onions in the fat til starting to soften and brown. Add the celery and cook lightly to retain the crunch; remove the vegs from the skillet and cook the sausage. After the sausage is cooked, remove, drain and get rid of most of the fat, but deglaze the good bits with the chicken stock. Throughout the episode Alex stressed the sequence of preparing the stuffing ingredients. I don't how how the FN chefs put up with such shoddy treatment of their recipes, livelihoods and reputations. However, I was lucky enough not to have to rely on this website and plan on trying this recipe for Thanksgiving.
