Tips & Warnings
  • You can make this stuffing up to 2 days ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before using it as a stuffing for poultry.
  • To toast pecans, put them on a cookie sheet and pop them into a 350 degree F oven for a few minutes or until they smell toasty. Watch them carefully so they don't burn.
  • If you have more stuffing than will fit in the bird, bake it in a covered casserole alongside your turkey for 45 minutes to an hour. You can drizzle an extra 1/2 cup stock over the stuffing before you bake it if it seems a little dry.
  • Never stuff a turkey or any other poultry until you are ready to cook it.
