Directions
Roast Turkey with Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing, used this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for my first year of making Thanksgiving dinner Judging by the results, no one knew that I hadn’t cooked this meal a million times before The turkey was perfectly moist and the stuffing was incredible! If serving a large crowd, I would double the stuffing! I ran out last year because the bird needed it all, and had to make an extra casserole of Stovetop It didn’t even compare to the homemade! This recipe is well worth the effort, and your family will thank you! You don’t have to mess with the fancy turkey lacing, all I did was fasten the back and legs shut with a metal skewer and it turned out fine Prep time does not include making bread cubes , A great recipe, very similar to what my dad has made for years! You can’t go wrong with this one
