Turkey Stuffing: For a Special Occasion

Are you ready to stuff your turkey with this turkey stuffing?  First, put aside all that plain bread crumbs because this stuffing recipe calls for cornbread.  Now, if you don't know how to make cornbread I have a wonderful cornbread recipe on the site.  This cornmeal stuffing is flavorful and colourful as well.  It is well suited for any time of celebration – Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, you name it.

A Delicious Cornbread Turkey Stuffing

This Christmas I made cornbread stuffing, and it tasted delicious.  This cornbread stuffing also goes great as a side dish, especially if you change your mind on stuffing the turkey. This is a very simple recipe.  Once your stuffing is prepared you may stuff your turkey with it.  However, there are a number of things you should know about before stuffing a turkey.  A stuff turkey takes longer to cook, so care should be noted; you should refer to this post on stuffing your turkey.  Here is turkey stuffing.
