Stuffing for Christmas turkey | House & Garden

Preferring a more traditional take on the Christmas feast, I make simple yet tasty stuffings featuring conventional flavours. Stuffing of any hue is designed to enhance flavour and so should be well seasoned and textural. One is vegetable-based and the other meat-based. If you are only making one, you can double the quantity. Serves 4

Get ahead

Both stuffings can be made up to 2 days ahead, then covered and chilled. Or make and freeze them up to 2 months ahead and defrost the day before use.
