Note

Storage: Cover and refrigerate leftover stuffing for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 325ðF until hot.

Substitutions: Use regular butter or margarine in place of Butter Buds. Fresh herbs can replace dried (use 3x the amount of dried).

Variations: For Oyster Stuffing, reduce bread cubes to 8 cups and add 2 cans (8 oz each) drained, chopped oysters with the remaining ingredients.

Safety: Ensure stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF for safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing.

Quantity Guide: Use 3/4 cup stuffing per pound of chicken or turkey. A 1âÂÂ1.25 lb Cornish hen needs about 1 cup. Use 1/4âÂÂ1/3 cup per pork chop rib and 1/2 cup per pound of dressed fish.
