Note
Let the mixture sit for a few hours to allow flavors to meld before using to stuff a bird or baking separately.
Ensure the stuffing is cooked to an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for food safety.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock instead of chicken or turkey stock.
Day-old bread works best as it absorbs moisture better without becoming mushy.
