This is a great recipe for a special occasion. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This was a great recipe, but I made a few changes. I used chicken broth instead of water in the stuffing, and I added a cup of chopped celery.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey came out a little undercooked. I think I'll add a few more minutes to the cooking time next time.
