Tips:

  • To make the stuffing ahead of time, prepare it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Transfer the stuffing to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw the stuffing in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.
  • For a more flavorful stuffing, use a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, garlic, and onion powder.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use of fresh herbs.
  • To make sure the stuffing is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For a crispy topping, brush the top of the stuffing with melted butter before baking.
