Stuffing is essential!

The stuffing is almost as important as the bird itself. Add a few new ingredients to your favorite recipe to create something a little different, or try one of these:

Create a simple stuffing of onions, celery and bread. Mix it with hot water, chicken stock and a dab of butter for outstanding flavor. Add moisture using a reduced stock from the gizzard and bones of the turkey.
Want to add kick? Try Savory Dijon Stuffing, or add south-of-the-border flavor with green chiles in Southwest Cornbread Stuffing.
Celeriac, a type of celery grown specifically for its roots, has a unique, delicate flavor. Try shredding it and tossing it into your favorite stuffing recipe.
Finely chopped roasted chestnuts add flavor to stuffing, as does sage, rosemary, thyme, chervil, or black pepper. Roasted Chestnut Stuffing is a traditional favorite.
Add a little sweetness by combining apples and dried cherries with chicken sausage in this Apple and Sausage Stuffing with Italian and pumpernickel bread.
Try adding crumbled bacon, pancetta or sausage to your stuffing to create a moist and delectable Oyster Bacon Stuffing or Sausage Fennel Stuffing.
