When a few of the members of my family went gluten-free, a big point of contention was the fact there was now no stuffing within the turkey. In my household, because we favour ham for special holidays, so we tend to make a pan of stuffing that goes in the oven alongside it. Making stuffing is a perfect recipe for a beginner, and one of my favourites because it can be made with a lot ingredients that you already have on hand. I save the heels of my bread, and purchase a loaf from the 50% off rack to make stuffing with.

Our recipe fills a 11×17″ pan which is usually enough to feed my family of four. For larger crowds, I suggest making a larger pan (or two) if you have stuffing lovers in your crowd.
