Sage and Onion Stuffing

When its approaching Thanksgiving or Christmas, you begin to think of Roast Turkey, Potatoes, Carrots and Beans. Never forget the stuffing. It is one of the most important parts of the meal and add a new texture that should not be missed. A traditional stuffing such as Sage and Onion is one of the easiest to make and can be prepared in advance. There are many stuffing recipes including Bell Peppers with Brown Rice Stuffing, Green Onion and Cornbread Stuffing and Roast Turkey With Tasty Chestnut Stuffing. We even have a prune stuffing that goes very well with Cornish Hens. That would be different for Christmas.

Sage and Onion Stuffing

I always find that a fork with a bit of stuffing, tukey, roastie and decent gravy is a thing of beauty. Thanksgiving, Christmas and every other opportunity is improved by a good roast.
