Always good and a crowd pleaser.
Our family's traditional Thanksgiving stuffing with my updates. It is used to stuff the turkey. If baked separately, will not require more than about 30 minutes baking time and may require more liquid. This is a doubled recipe for a large turkey or smaller turkey with baked stuffing on the side. Making it in the pan that the turkey will be roast in leaves a little extra flavor in the pan. Measurements are approximate.
