Notes

  • You can use any brand of stuffing mix you’d like, including gluten-free if needed.
  • If you’re going to stuff your turkey, there’s no need to bake the stuffing first. After mixing, transfer it to the bird right before roasting.
  • To make this in advance, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.
