Here's one:
Pepperidge Farms herb stuffing (large bag)
– use a few TBS. Less of butter when you prepare it.
Lg. Can chicken broth
1 lg. Onion
4-5 celery, chopped
2 large granny smiths, peeled & chopped
1 c. chopped dates (can)
bag of dried apricots (1 cup, chopped)
Pkg. Cran raisins.
1 pkg. Jones loose sausage

Saute sausage till brown.

Saute onions & celery in butter.

Add chicken broth instead of water to stuffing mix.

Put in casserole & bake (350) for half hour or till warm.
 
My family LOVES this one...
Harvest Stuffing

1/2 loaf of day old white bread
1/2 loaf of day old wheat bread

Chicken broth
Butter

5-6 stalks celery chopped
3 onions, diced
3-4 lg. carrots, peeled and shredded
2-3 lg. red apples, peeled, cored and chopped

salt and pepper

chopped pecans

I don't really measure.. I just saute the veg. first in butter.. then mix the cooled veg. mixture with the cubed bread.. moisten with the chicken broth, season and then add the apples and pecans..
You could add cranberries too for color and tang.. sometimes I am lazy and don't peel the apples, but for "presentation" you would want to because the skin is't a bright color after the baking...
 
I'm making apple, sage and sausage stuffing this year. (I have never tried it before) It seems to tie in well with the Raosted turkey and apple gravy PC recipe we will be trying this year.
 
Let me know if you would like the recipe.
 
Here's mine:

Brown 1 lb pork sausage. Remove sausage and drain excess grease. Chop or dice 1 large onion, 3 stalks celery and 3 apples. Saute in same pan until tender.

Tear 1 full loaf of soft bread (the cheapest kind). Combine bread, sausage, onion/apple mixture, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. poultry seasoning, 1 tsp salt and about 1/2 cup milk (enough to moisten). Last year I added sweetened dried cranberries - I loved it but my family is traditional and said to leave them out this year.

Combine and stuff turkey - YUM!! If you have extra or don't want to stuff it just put it in a stone and bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes.

I use TONS of PC products to make this - usually combine it all in that LARGE tupperware bowl from years ago but this year I used the LARGE Stainless Mixing Bowl that was the host special - it was PERFECT! AND easier to handle too!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
 
1 pkg. Jones loose sausage (it tells you how to make stuffing) :)
 
This is my recipe... Measurements are approx... I kinda just throw stuff in....TWO STICKS OF BUTTER... YES, TWO
1 loaf of white bread - or any type you prefer, I use white b/c that is what I grew up with.
Toast the bread, cut into cubes
Melt butter in saute' pan.
Add approx 1/2 c. of chopped celery
1 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
cook until onions are transparent.
Add 1 T. poultry seasoning
pour over toast cubes, mix together
If you need additional moisture, I slowly add chicken stock (turkey if I can find it, but I couldn't this year) until I get the moisture that I want. EVERYONE loves this recipe.... and as far as the two sticks of butter, this is only made ONCE a year... so I don't feel guilty! :) HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Edited to add what you like to your family's taste... i wanted to add carrots this year, but just didn't get to it.)
 
My mom & I made some awesome stuffing yesterday:) We took an idea from Rachel Ray & made "stuffin' muffins"; they were awesome.
We used Pepperidge Farm bread crumbs.....we sauted butter, green onions, and celery; then added the required amount of chicken stock. Then added that to the bread crumbs. Then, we also added some dried cranberries & some chopped apple slices. Then, we put into the stoneware muffin pan & baked for about 30 minutes. They looked so cute! And were yummy:)

Do you bake this?
 
Stuffing balls
1 pkg (16 oz.) Pepperidge Farm herb-seasoned stuffing
1 1/4 c. broth
1 1/4 c. water
1/2 c. margarine
1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
3/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 onions chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
2 eggs beaten
Heat broth, water, and margarine until it melts. Stir into stuffing, seasonings, onion and celery. Let cool. Add eggs. I use the medium scoop to form them into balls and bake on the stoneware at 325 for 40 minutes. Makes 3 dz.
These are so crispy and tasty!
 
I know it's a little late since Thanksgiving was yesterday.....I hosted my first Thanksgiving and made the Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing (from our Turkey recipe card collection) in addition to the traditional stuffing my mom has always made. It was AWESOME! I had it before at one our mega meetings when someone else made it and it's great. It's got a good kick to it and it's a little different. It got rave reviews!:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some unique ingredients I can add to my stuffing recipe?

You can enhance your stuffing by adding ingredients like dried cranberries, chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), sautéed mushrooms, or even diced apples for a touch of sweetness. Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage can also elevate the flavor profile.

Can I make stuffing ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare stuffing ahead of time! You can assemble it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it tightly. When you're ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven.

What type of bread works best for stuffing?

Stale bread is ideal for stuffing as it absorbs flavors without becoming mushy. You can use a variety of breads such as French bread, sourdough, or even cornbread. The key is to ensure the bread is dry enough to hold up during cooking.

How do I make my stuffing moist but not soggy?

To achieve moist stuffing without sogginess, add broth gradually while mixing. Start with a small amount and increase as needed until the stuffing is just moist. It's also important to bake it uncovered for part of the cooking time to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Can I use gluten-free bread for stuffing?

Absolutely! Gluten-free bread can be used to make stuffing. Just ensure that you choose a gluten-free bread that you enjoy, and consider adding additional seasonings or ingredients to enhance the flavor, as gluten-free bread can sometimes be less flavorful than traditional options.
