Recipes FAQ

Can I make this stuffing ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the stuffing up to a day ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake it, just remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before baking.

Can I use fresh cranberries instead of dried?

Yes, you can use fresh cranberries if you prefer. Just keep in mind that fresh cranberries are more tart than dried, so you may want to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to compensate.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to use a sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread for this recipe, as it will hold up better when mixed with the other ingredients.
  • If you prefer a softer stuffing, you can add a little more chicken broth to the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the stuffing, as this can make it too dense. Just gently toss everything together until it's evenly combined.
