I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffing turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

This stuffing is a great way to use up leftover turkey and giblets. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I'm not a big fan of giblets, but this stuffing was still really good. The other ingredients masked the flavor of the giblets well.

This stuffing is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. I love the addition of apples and cranberries.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stuffing turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This stuffing was a little too dry for my taste.

I've been making this stuffing for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The giblets give it a unique flavor that you can't get from any other stuffing.

This stuffing is so good, I could eat it as a meal on its own!

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken for the giblets, and it turned out great.

This stuffing was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! It was moist and flavorful, and the giblets added a nice touch of richness. I will definitely be making this again next year.
