This is more or less the dressing of my childhood. I love, love, love stuffing or dressing. You can keep the turkey, but keep the dressing coming. This is herby and oniony and just plain wonderful…it wreaks of the holidays.
This stuffing is savory, loaded with vegetables and herbs. You can add some sausage to this, if you wish, but it’s darn good without. You won’t miss the meat at all.
