I've been doing variations of this for years. With sausage of without, it always get raves.
Stuffing is such an easy way to get rid of old bread and it's such an easy side for any roast bird.
Throw in dried fruit, nuts, mushrooms or favorite herbs. Not all combos work but it's a forgiving dish. —blanka.n
