Who doesn't love stuffing on Thanksgiving? You can get intimidated if you look up recipes for stuffing on the internet. There are endless possibilities when it comes to this side dish. I think the recipe below is a great recipe. You still get to enjoy stuffing, but with a little less guilt. This is a good side dish for any dinner but I wanted to post it since Thanksgiving is just a few short days away.
