Thanksgiving is around the corner and we are hosting it this year for the family. I needed to find a stuffing that would work for our supper table and an upcoming cooking class that I was co-hosting. This recipe was very tasty but I altered it to fit what I was looking for. You can find the original recipe from Leslie Dursco here. The following recipe is tasty and quite filling, perfect for a Thanksgiving Supper.

Enjoy.
