Stuffing ( Dressing ) so tasty!

Making the stuffing “dressing” for your turkey or chicken, we like using savoury as the spice/herb. Depending on how much you are making one to two tablespoons will go a long way.

      I add Italian sausage meat (raw, casing removed) to my regular bread stuffing, then stuff both ends of the bird with this mixture. The sausage cooks inside the bird, and helps to flavour the bird, particularly if you loosen the skin over the breast and stuff some in there. (My kids love it and often request this stuffing!)

        Nice! That sounds lovely and I must give it a try for sure, thank you for leaving your method. 🙂 Bonita

      Really enjoyed your video. On thing to keep in mind when doing a food demonstration is to use a clear glass bowl so your audience can see what it looks like a little better. Happy Thanksgiving. My daughter’s partner is from Newfoundland so I would like to make your stuffing for him.

      1. Hi Laurie: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our website, I’m glad you enjoyed our recipe and video. Point taken and live and learn, I have been trying to incorporate my clear bowls in the newer recipes. This is a lovely stuffing and I’m sure you guys will enjoy it as well as your daughter’s partner. Have a lovely day. 🙂 Bonita
