    Absolutely fantastic! Tried this for Thanksgiving last year and have made it numerous times since. Guests and friends agree this is probably the best stuffing they have ever eaten. Not hard to prepare. Can be eaten as a meal almost by itself and is good with just about any main course. Even my picky teenager son loves it. Thanks so much!

    Best. Dressing. Period.
    I wanted to make a healthier version of dressing for the holidays. So I found this recipe and hoped it would turn out okay and not make my family wish they'd just made the traditional boxed stuff. I made this with chicken Italian sausage and the herbed foccacia my store had in the bakery. THEY LOVED IT! My mother asked for the recipe and made it 2 more times before I left. It was a wonderful surprise and a real crowd pleaser! I substituted the butter for olive oil. As an added flavor punch we drizzled white truffle oil over the top. DELISH!!!! ;o

    This dressing blew my socks off!!! I made it for the first time this Christmas and served it to many family members. They all loved it and raved about it. I also gave the recipe out to those that wanted to make it themselves. The key to this dressing is finding the onion foccacia. I found a bakery in a local grocery store that made it. The foccacia, combined with the butternut squash, kale and saugsage, made this dressing unique and memorable. If you are looking for something festive, but different, try this outstanding recipe!

    This is the best stuffing we have ever, ever made! EVERYONE loved it. It is like a meal in itself. All the ingredients compliment each other beautifully. We diced our butternut squash even smaller than in their picture, like 1/4 inch pieces. Not only does it taste great, it looks great too!

    I've made this recipe for a couple holidays and it has been a big success every time. It's not difficult and you can even play with the ingredients to suit your likes. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    This recipe is delicious! The blend of the squash, kale, and sausage is amazing! I added more shredded cheese on the last 10 minutes of baking and it made it even more fabulous! One of the reviews said to be careful not to overcook the squash before it goes into the baking dish and I agree. It gets even softer while baking, so just get it slightly soft before adding it. This one is a winner folks :

    Just made this for the first time tonight. It's incredible! We made it in preparation for Thanksgiving to test it out and we're so glad we did! This is very much a keeper! Can't wait for everyone to try it at Thanksgiving!

    I have made this recipe several times throughout the year, especially when I want my family to eat kale. The combination of kale with sweet butternut squash is delightful. I oftentimes substitute turkey sausage. I've substituted the Hawaiian sweet bread when I can't find onion focaccia. It's still a big hit!

    I get together with the same group every year for Thanksgiving and every year for the last 4 years I have been asked to make Dressing. I love to do it but never really feel like it's something that can really show off my cooking capabilities. As the youngest contributor of the group (I'm 25 I do feel the need to impress with my food sometimes. I made this recipe this year and it was the absolute, hands-down favorite this year! Everyone was ranting and raving about how good it was! I did all my prep work for it the night before and found that since I was doubling the recipe I had to follow my instincts on some things, for instance, doubling the focaccia would have been too much so I did slightly less. I just followed what looked right to me. I will absolutely make this again in the future, it was so wonderful and even survived a 3 hour car ride! :

    I made this dressing in addition to another, as a couple of my family members have food allergies. They told me not to fuss for their sake, but boy are they glad I did! They raved and raved, asked for the recipe, and altogether made me feel pretty good. Not bad for a first-time Thanksgiving cook!
