Mom’s Thanksgiving Stuffing is a staple at our holiday dinners. Not only is it delicious, it’s super easy to make because there’s no stuffing it in a turkey. My mom, even though she made one every year for decades, hated turkey. Didn’t eat it and didn’t like to touch it. So here’s here no-touch turkey stuffing. Haha!
Mom’s Thanksgiving Stuffing isn’t an integral part of our dinner, it’s a must-have in my day-after-Thanksgiving colossal turkey sandwich and it just wouldn’t be the same without it. Two slices of bread with more bread in the middle, what could be better? haha.
This recipe is based on the one my mom has been making for as long as I can remember. She always threw in nuts, too, which gave the stuffing a most delightful crunch, but sadly, with my girls’ nut allergies, I omit them now. It’s still delicious, plus the olives some how lend a little crunch of their own, so it’s still good in my book. And oh so easy.
