Use fresh ingredients. Fresh cornbread, vegetables, and herbs will give your stuffing the best flavor.
Don't overstuff the turkey. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of stuffing for every pound of turkey.
Moisten the stuffing. Add some broth or melted butter to the stuffing to keep it moist and flavorful.
Season the stuffing well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to give the stuffing a complex flavor.
Bake the stuffing in a covered dish. This will help to keep the stuffing moist and prevent it from drying out.
Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.
