Very moist and delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is probably the stuffing that I will make from now on. Very flavorful. I like a more dry stuffing and this was pretty... moist. I made it the night before and right before putting in into the oven to bake the next day I added a splash more of chicken stock and I think that did the trick. My husband and friends loved it!Read more

Hit of Turkey Day
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe all the way but used Jimmy Dean Sage sausage rather than Italian sausage and I have to say, it was... wonderful. It was the only dish that was completely gone at the end of the night. This recipe will be with me until I am dead and buried.Read more

Excellent Stuffing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this for the first time this year. It was great...everyone liked it. We used a mix of cornbread and good wheat... bread, and we increased the amount of broth and added dried cranberries.Read more

Best Stuffing Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this stuffing for the past six or seven years and everyone absolutely loves it. I have to make extra for... leftovers or people go crazy. The one thing that I have changed is that I have substituted 1 cup of dried cranberries for the apples because my wife has an intolerance to the sorbitol in apples. I like it both ways and think that it would be amazing with both.Read more

The Perfect Stuffing!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this stuffing EVERY time we have turkey. It is wonderful and full of flavor. I even stuff the turkey with it after... cooking the stuffing. The added turkey flavor makes it even better!!!Read more

TGTL (Thank goodness there's leftovers)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did not grow up with stuffing, nor did I ever care to taste my mother-in-law's margarine-laden packaged stuffing mix. But... THIS recipe is a different story. I am a stuffing convert! Since I'm a bit of a health nut and don;t eat pork, here's how I modified the recipe: Made my own whole wheat corn bread, cubed it and let it dry. Replaced the sausage with Morningstar recipe starter sausage-like crumbles (vegetarian). Left out the stick of butter and sauteed the onions and celery in a little olive oil. Then, partway thru baking I dotted the top with about a T or two of butter. Used fresh sage - awesome! Forgot the thyme, but I think it'd be good to use it. Used a different apple, left peel on - worked fine. I halved the recipe and it was plenty for six of us. Used vegetable broth - about double and a little soymilk for moisture. My husband and I loved this and I think it got better the days after.Read more
